The outside looks simple and nice. The rooms are more luxurious than you’d think, especially the bathrooms. That shower is one of the best I’ve tried in NZ. The main reason we’ll come back though is the free EV charging on the new chargers they installed. Very convenient.

Although the decor is contemporary, the units are well equiped, very spacious and clean. Excellent wifi and all the TV/Sky channels. Excellent heating and although on a main road, traffic noise is not an issue. High recommend.

The room was extremely spacious, with a huge kitchen. We really liked the layout of the room, it was refreshingly different to other motel rooms. It was also well equipped, warm and comfortable. The person at check in was helpful and informative. We were very happy with our stay.

Exceptionally spacious accommodation with good kitchen facilities. Laundry facilities worked well although only cold wash is available which could be an issue with very soiled walking clothes. Dryer ($2) was brilliant though.

An excellent stay overall. The apartment unit was very clean and thoughtfully laid out with good amenities and attention to detail. Some of the wall paper and skirtings etc are a bit dated, but this didn’t detract from the excellent value and overall good experience here. Friendly and knowledgeable staff, very welcoming.

Unfortunately there was very little natural light due to the mezzanine floor, so lights needed to be on all day. Needs silicone replaced around the shower area as moulding and limited ventilation in the bathroom with no fan (only a window). Towels weren’t replaced daily over our 3 night stay, so remained damp. Staff were lovely.

Not located in the city centre but convenient enough if you have a car (parking readily available on-site). Check-in staff were friendly and the room was very spacious and clean, with ample heating. It would have been good if the bathroom windows had fly screens so they could be left ajar without a lot of mosquitoes coming inside.
