Power points were not conveniently located around the room. Shower head was confusing and then water got everywhere on the floor because of the open half screen which doesn’t stop the water going over the side and back of the bath. While the heating was on, the rooms are massive with high ceilings so would suggest better heating in winter, perhaps even electric blankets on the beds.

Was convenient to town being right there. Host was accommodating as we needed the beds split from queens to 2x singles.

Not a thing, delightful.

I somehow had booked for the night after the day our intended arrival. Though she was not expecting us, the manager, Mihi, quicly made some adjustments and welcomed my son and I in. Needless to say, my error was quickly, and unhestitaingly, managed by Mihi, and in we went. The Left Bank is a beautifully renovated very old building and the interior is absolutely beautiful. It was like being in a Victorian age bedroom with period furnishings! What a wonderful experience. Our car was locked inside a secure area which Mihi directed us to and again opened in the morning to recover our car. Could not have been more pleased with the stay, it was perfect!

Nothing negative to say about this wonderful accommodation!

This is the only place to stay In Kaikohe!! This is our 3rd stay at the Left Bank, we are keen cyclists and love the twin coast cycle ride and taking friends and family and we are always made to feel so welcome and looked after by the wonderful manager who consistently goes above and beyond for all guests! Beautiful rooms but it is the great service that adds so much to the Left Bank experience!

Road Noise - Cara racing up and down the street all night kept us awake.

The rooms were beautiful, very clean and large.

It's truly a gem. Yes, the town may have had better days, but this place and the owners are doing a great job.

Have no complaints at all.

Left bank was a beautifully restored commercial building, it had been finished to a high standard and with high ceilings and some fabulous woodwork trim. The bed was comfortable the shower had plenty of pressure. There was secure parking available The host was amazing, really welcoming and nothing was a problem.

Nothing to dislike

Mihi is an awesome host, goes out of her way to help you, with parking when you arrive early to do the cycle trail, sends you in the right direction. Rooms are beautiful . I highly recommend staying here. And the shower pressure 👌

Background history on building was exciting, structure decor and details take you back to what nz use to have, beautiful. Staff was always available on hand when needed whether guidance nd attractions nearby . Room was immaculate comfortable and layout suitable for warm or cold weather. Our stay was relaxing, enjoyable and will definitely recommend for a stopover as there's so many options on hand to offer P.S. even our vehicle gets the best off road parking with the best security nz can offer. 10/10, Thank you Mihi nd husband, for making our once in a lifetime 4 day holiday in the Far North memorable and will always be treasured

Perfect accommodation for what we needed with very welcoming owners and a relaxing feeling the whole time we were there. Highly recommend this historic building if you are passing through town or just want to have a peaceful and relaxing weekend away.

The rooms are exquisite and the tie between old and new is amazing! Bed is comfortable and the rooms are spacious. The owner was so incredibly helpful and accommodating to my partner and I and it made our New Year’s night so amazing.

Not the best town to spend any time in but a good base to explore the region. The room walls are very thin. Normal conversation travels through them.

Really nice period refurbishment inside. Comfortable bed and bathroom.
