Egmont Eco Leisure Park - Hostel
Room I booked was misrepresented on Expedia. I booked a 'cabin' showing a photo of a small room with double bed and bunk, but on arrival I got told I had booked a dormitory (large room with multiple bunk beds only). Have requested a refund.

Millennium Hotel New Plymouth, Waterfront
We had a great experience at the Millennium Hotel. The food at their restaurant “Salt” was very good. The VIP perk contributed to the meal. The hotel is well located across from the beac, and easy walking distance to the downtown area.
