Fodor's Expert Review Trinity Wharf

Perched over the edge of Tauranga Harbour, this is one of the city’s higher-end hotels. There are several guest room categories (executive rooms to a three-bedroom penthouse), and the best have over water views. All of the bathrooms have bathtubs (unusual in this region) along with heated floors. With great water views the hotel's restaurant and bar, Halo, are frequented by locals and guests alike for meals or cocktails. High tea is offered every day from 2 pm to 5 pm; it's well patronized and reservations are essential. Facilities include an infinity swimming pool. This is also a popular conference hotel, so book well ahead.
