The Tiaki Promise is a commitment to care for New Zealand, for now, and for future generations.  We encourage all of our guests to follow the principles of the Tiaki Promise and to make a commitment to act as a guardian, protecting and preserving our home.  The guiding principles of the Tiaki Promise are;

Care for land, sea and nature, treading lightly and leaving no trace
Travel safely showing care and consideration for all
Respect culture travelling with an open heart and mind

You will see these principles brought to life through our commitment to support environmental causes, and our caring luxury policy, our company values of integrity and respect, and our involvement with a host of community groups, charities, and other organisations.

Tread lightly

The George has a variety of initiatives in place to reduce waste and recycle products.  From carbon footprint actions to procurement measures, water conservation and partnership with environmental groups to our employee volunteer scheme.

Care and consideration

The George encourages you to travel safely caring for yourself and others, to be mindful, to take time for yourself.  The George is also actively involved with a number of community, charity groups, cultural and arts organisations that bring enrichment to our community.

Open heart & mind

The George values include integrity, respect, profitability, innovation and excellence.  Integrity in that we do what we say and respect - we treat our guests, suppliers and partners as we wish to be treated ourselves.  

What our patrons say

“From the moment I stepped into The George Hotel, to having left, the experience was one of great customer service and outstanding moments that made it memorable. Would stay again!”

“We stayed for a gourmet package overnight. Food was amazing, flavourful, beautifully presented and the service was amazing. It was a wonderful night and we will be back.”

“I stayed at the George recently and was impressed with the impeccable service given by all staff members. Friendly, polished and professional, they were a credit to the hotel. The evening meal at the Bistro was excellent, and I was surprised to realise that the hotel does a turn down service - complete with chocolate and "George", a little momento teddy bear to take home (which I did,I just couldn't resist!). It's a wonderful hotel, close to the city, yet set in a very green and peaceful part of town. I wouldn't hesitate to stay again, and plan to next time in a personal capacity with my husband. Kohinui 24 March 2022”

“Service is excellent with well-appointed rooms and perfect location. We even got a free teddy bear to take away which was an unexpected bonus! Its the small things right. Great coffee and rooms were recently renovated, bed was first class.”
