Great accommodation! Walkable into city Centre and near all attractions in the area
Awesome stay room was exceptional and tidy .
The staff lovely .
It definitely meet our expectations.
Everything was well placed and lovely decor
We will definitely be back !
Our room was a delux studio. It had been fully refurbished within the last year and was excellent. The bed was very comfortable, the kitchen had a microwave with a jug that could be used in it, an air fryer (that we were not expecting so a bonus!), toaster and kettle. The location is very quiet and easy to get everywhere from. The spa bath was fun. So overall a very good stay.
Staff is amazing we arrived super early and we're just hoping to sure our bags but they immediately got a room ready. The room was practically brand new, hot tub in our bathroom was great. This was our stay half way into our vacation and they have a laundry room open to guests so we were able to do all of our laundry!!!! Walk into town centers is ~15 minutes(completely flat) and the area is wonderful. Really cannot recommend this place enough. If we come back to New Zealand we WILL be staying here again.

Room was tiny, especially the bathroom. Clean. Staff courteous.
Passport 'lost' whilst staying there so take all valuables.
On a street on endless motels, this one stands out. Recently remodeled, everything was in good shape. Outlets had usb and usb-c so you don’t need adapters. Finicky nespresso machine so you may want to ask how to work it. I had one like it and still needed help. Even a nice small pool if the days is got. Very clean too
The room was clean & tidy, staff were very pleasant.
Pity it didn't have a gym but that's okay.
We were charged an extre $25 for arriving one & a half hours early for a 3pm check in, which we thought was a but rich considering our room was ready, we had just traveled 4 hrs to get there & all other hotels we have stayed in had a 2pm check in.
