The suites

Sixteen of the 78 rooms are suites, all of them on the two top levels of the south face. What a suite buys here is a door between the bedroom and everything else, and outdoor space you can use in weather that comes off the Southern Ocean. Both categories are glazed on the windward side, which is the difference between a terrace you sit on and a terrace you look at.

Questions the desk gets asked

Is the terrace usable in winter?

The windward half is glazed to shoulder height with a solid return on the western corner, which is the side the weather arrives from. There is a gas heater and a wind-proof lamp on each terrace from May to September. It is not a summer terrace pretending to work in July; it was built for a coast that gets forty knots.

Can we eat in the suite?

Room service runs 11am to 10pm from the The Beacon Room kitchen. For a set dinner served in the suite for four or more, tell the desk by midday and a waiter comes with it. Breakfast in the suite is at no extra charge on any package that includes breakfast.

Which suite is quietest?

Suite 512, the eastern of the four Taiaroa Suites. It is furthest from the lift core and the only one with no room above it. It is also the one that books first, so ask early.

Do the suites include the bathhouse?

Pool and steam-room access is in the rate for every room in the building, suites included. Treatments are booked and charged separately — see The Saltwater Bathhouse. Suite guests get first call on the two double treatment rooms when a booking is made at least a week out.
