Its worth it.

Copthorne hotels across New Zealand were all rather swanky back in the day. I do find most of them have kept up with slight moderations within each room to stay modern yet simple, and Bay of Islands Copthorne has done just that. Big comfortable beds. Clean bathrooms. Lovely efficient and friendly check in by team. Tidy grounds and gardens. I also loved the lemon and ginger tea bags available. Value for money, comfort and general warmth.
