Our stay at the Narrows Landing was incredibky restul. The grounds are lovely, staff were helpful and available, and the room was comfy, warm, and large, if a little rustic. Water pressure was great, the continental breakfast better than most, and we had a fantastic nights sleep. We thouroughly recommend this hotel.

We loved the setting with mature trees and well cared for outdoor area's.The team were welcoming, breakfast was just right in a spacious area with indoor or outdoor options. A solid and characterfilled building ideal with good transport connections, near to the airstrip without the bustle of Central Hamilton. Great option for a meeting or conference as well as an escape

Clean and spacious, and relaxing room with very friendly staff. The venue, the decorations, and the building itself are all so gorgeous! The breakfast every morning was tasty and great to start the day. We stayed two nights but we should stay longer and should enjoy the stay itself more. That was very memorable and relaxing time, thank you so much.

We didnt know this property existed even though we have driven past frequently. Its set in beautiful park like grounds. The hotel is boutique-like. Unique. Architecturally interesting built with local materials. Our room was very comfortable. It did have two steps UP to the bathroom which is a trick for people who get up in the night in the dark. A continental breakfast is included which was a nice surprise. It would be an excellent venue for a special occasion.

Love The Narrows

The Narrows was such a unique hotel. Although it is near the airport, it feels very secluded and quiet. The breakfast was simple, but so good!
