Some properties are better suited for groups or long-term arrangements. When you make your enquiry, tell us what you need and we will find our best available accommodation option. Let us know if you have particular needs or if you wish the room to be appointed differently eg. twin or double beds. If you need baby cots and high chairs, please book in advance with your room as we have limited numbers available.
Hotel Chatham and the Forget Me Not Suites have one wheelchair accessible room each.
To secure your booking, payment of one night's accommodation is required.

Meet long-lost locals
In 1972 only 18 Black Robins could be counted. By 1976 there were only seven left. These were all moved to Mangere Island where 120,000 trees had been planted to provide better shelter. By 1980 there were only five Black Robins in the world with just a single breeding pair left. A dedicated team of New Zealand Wildlife Service staff decided to cross-foster eggs and young to another species. It was successful and by early 2013, the Black Robin population was around 250.
