Tides Hotel Bar & Eatery

This review is about the restaurant.nnI visited in February for lunch with 3 business associates. All the items we had were well presented and delicious. The service was quick and courteous. We sat outside beside the river and the breeze was just perfect.nnMy vegetarian dish - the warm cauliflower salad - was excellent.nnI would happily dine here again.

Great hotel, fabulous service always with a smile and incredible food. We love to eat clean as much as possible, the food here ticks all the boxes. Staying here for 3 nights whilst we recharge our batteries before moving on to see the rest of the South Island.

Great little hotel perfectly situated for our one quick overnight, right across from where the InterCity bus dropped us off and picked us up. Fun quirky room details a bonus on top of basics like comfy beds and clean bathroom. Extras in room were fresh milk and cold spring water! Nice touch. Loved the colour scheme and splashes of art! Hallway looked to be in middle of being renovated half painted walls and wires hanging down, so once done that will be an improvement. Overall recommend for a nice place to stay!

Came for lunch and the smoke salmon and pork belly were amazingly good!!! Sorry, I forgot to take photos, but I promise they looked as good as they tasted. Also, the service is 5-star. Thanks to the friendly and cheerful staff!

We recently stayed overnight, and it was the perfect place to truly relax and veg out. The rates were really affordable, and we were able to get a room facing the river. I was worried about restaurant noise so requested a room on the first floor, away from the restaurant. We ended up on the ground floor anyway last-minute booking, but it was quite quiet, and I slept really well. You can kind of hear your neighbours' muffled voices when you're in the toilet, but that's not uncommon. Having a reliable restaurant in-house that serves good food was such a big plus, as we didn't have to go looking for somewhere to eat. Cannot wait to return for summer!
