the property is old and the showers are the most obvious sign of that. Nevertheless the size of the rooms are generous, they are 1970s style motel with kitchens.
Good value for money. Quiet location and very close to Otago University campus. Walking distance (about 20 minutes) to the Octagon area. Plenty of space and adequate storage. Bed was comfortable. Nice to have the stove to prepare some warm food. Kitchen had all the essentials. Chilly winter weather outside but two heaters kept it adequately warm inside. A few electrical outlets did not work. Not completely eco-friendly -- changed towels every day and there was a half-inch gap at the top of the entry door. Office is open only from 8AM to 6PM. Free daily newspaper was appreciated. Several international and local fast food outlets in the neighborhood. Supermarkets (GW and Woolworth) are a few blocks away (15-20 minutes walking). There is a convenience store about a block away if the weather is rainy or you need something late at night. We used the very convenient and cost-effective Super Shuttle to and from the airport.
Property was a lot larger than expected.
It was clean and comfortable with all amenities. Staff were friendly and helpful.
I would certainly stay again.
We were in a recently refurbished room, and facilities and service were great, rooms are spacious clean and tidy. Great value for money. Only negative was poor wifi signal (couldn’t connect in bedrooms), in living room where signal was stronger it still repeatedly disconnected.

Unfortunately the apartment we were given was not entirely safe for our two children. Very steep stairs up to one bedroom, and children can easily fit through balustrade on stairs to a drop off. Overall condition of apartment was very run down, Lino peeling in the bathroom and tiles in Bathroom falling off, and had been left on the window sill.
Rooms clean though. Lactation excellent
