    Pros +

    • Very clean and convenient to public bus.
    • Average at best
    • Large room. Easy to access with note left for us. Trampoline for my daughter to bounce on.

    Cons -

    • Mosquito ridden place, even with all windows closed and lights off it's impossible to get sleep here. Not very clean. For the price point it's not a great option.
    • Seemed more of a place a tradesman would stay than for a tourist/ things needed a revamp as seemed old such as the yellow toilet seat. The pool wasn’t open and looked tired and old.
    • Couldn’t lock window and door properly.

    Loved the location and view from the balcony

    Couldn’t lock window and door properly.

    Great location and size for us and clean neat and tidy. Staff were very friendly

    3PaulPosted on: 3-31-2025

    Bad mouldy smell as soon as we opened the door, said in the book rooms would be serviced daily, we stayed for 3 nights and not once was the room serviced. Our bin was overflowing with rubbish. Child safety door was coming off the hinges. I tightened it everyday but kept coming loose again. Place needs a major overhaul. Maybe some will say it's not expensive but only in NZ would close to $300 per night not be classed as expensive for this place. Location was great.

    absolutely clean and tidy., could do with a little extractor fan in the bath room.

    5HeatherPosted on: 3-23-2025

    Location was handy to local shops, cafes, buses.

    The accommodation was okay, and was not purporting to be better than okay; the price reflected this.

    7RachelPosted on: 3-9-2025

    The rooms were lovely - bright and breezy, very fresh and clean.

    The hot water ran out during one shower; it seems the tank might not be very big.

    8CraigPosted on: 2-18-2025

    Clean

    Shower pressure and temperature control

    5JoPosted on: 2-10-2025

    The room was comfortable, had everything I needed and felt safe.

    It was a fair way from the main tourist area and all of the beaches.The room could definitely have been cleanerThere were cockroaches in the room No late checkout or bag storage

    7KathrynPosted on: 2-1-2025

    The room was a good size with 2 separate bedrooms, nice view from the verandah. Good size kitchen too. Excellent location walking distance to supermarket and on bus route if needed.

    Exterior was in need of a paint in places and to get to our unit we had to walk passed the bins which stank. We got used to it though and the place had been renovated inside.

    9KatePosted on: 1-20-2025

    Great space. Lots of living space to move around. Comfy beds and amazing location

    The steps were a struggle for the older family members. A few slips on the gravel

    9KatePosted on: 1-20-2025

    Great facilities. Up to date and clean. Wonderful balcony view

    Lots of mozzies. Don’t notice the mozzie plug until the second night. Worked a treat once on

    3ArchiePosted on: 1-20-2025

    A couple thing we liked was it was close to the rsa and cafes. But there was loud music. And loud cars driving round,

    To be more clean. Less loud better area

    6BelindaPosted on: 1-17-2025

    I liked the spacious unit that we have booked and was close to the bus stop

    The place was not clean. The cups in the cupboard was dirty

    8VikkiPosted on: 1-16-2025

    Room is spacious and location quite convenient. Close to some reasonably priced restaurants and cafes. Also having swimming pool and spa pool to relax.

    The idea of guests washing theirs own dishes is good, but the result was we saw some dried salad leaves sticking to some plates for maybe weeks or months…. I mean, even guests wash the plates, it is still necessary to wash them again, because obviously everyone has different standard about what is clean.

    7WendyPosted on: 12-30-2024

    It was handy to all bus shops etc

    The bathroom the shower needs replacing it was awful .

    8GilPosted on: 12-30-2024

    Spacious and clean in a good location

    Spa not working or not heated on both days so impossible to use.

    9*mePosted on: 12-28-2024

    The staff were friendly. View & location was perfect.

    Jug had rust in it. No instructions on how to use spa.
