The Wellsford Inn is a hotel and bar at the top of Wellsford town, on Rodney Street. The website says it is the last hotel in Auckland and the first in Northland, and that it is a 50 to 60 minute drive from Auckland airport, depending on traffic. It has a selection of rooms, with pricing given on request by email or phone. The onsite kitchen serves meals in large portions, and the daily menu is on a blackboard. The website describes a relaxed family environment and friendly, bubbly staff. Reviewers mention a gaming lounge, a pool table, darts and chess.
Reviewers mention the steak most often. One who had a rump steak with chips, salad, mushrooms and two eggs says the chutney sauce made the meal, and that it was better than other pub meals they have had. Others say the service is warm and welcoming, the seating is spacious and the decor interesting. Reviewers also praise the cheerful staff.
