The Wellington's location is a convenient walk to restaurants, shopping and mansions. The staff was great; check-in was easy. Dish liquid would have been handy and while the room was clean, it is quite worn/ dated- that's why only 4 stars.

Great resort, lovely views of the harbour and bridge. Very spacious, comfortable beds and plenty of free parking. Lovely staff would stay again. Only possible negative was no standard oven and the usual lack of a kettle which coming from the UK we are used to but we were able to heat water in the microwave so did not miss out on our cuppa!
