    Pros +

    • The Superior Two Bedroom apartment was spacious and met all our needs. Easy parking and close to supermarkets.
    • Fab stay, the room was lovely, bed super comfy and staff friendly as usual.
    • A great place to stay. Lots of room, access to WIFI and comfortable beds/pillows. Plenty of off-street parking. Supermarket across the road.

    Cons -

    • Happy with everything. It might have been nice to have been given plunger coffee since the room had a plunger.
    • Noisy. Fridge was turned right up so food spoiled. No toilet paper. We wanted to reduce number of nights as child broke wrist but they blamed booking.com t&cs and wouldn't entertain the idea even with more than 24 hours notice.
    • Plastic roof on shower. Night roadworks.

    Location was good. Size of the room was great.

    Plastic roof on shower. Night roadworks.

    10JeaniePosted on: 3-14-2025

    We asked for a ground floor unit, the manager swapped things around to accommodate us. We also asked for an extra night. No problem.

    10SPosted on: 3-3-2025

    Generally a spacious well located unit. Well presented.

    Complete lack of accessible power outlets in bedroom.

    10AndyPosted on: 3-2-2025

    Contemporary, clean and very comfortable units complete with good quality facilities. A very well managed complex. Convenient for Woolworths just across the road.

    Nothing to dislike

    9BrucePosted on: 2-16-2025

    A few minutes walk to town, so convenient location but on main road so you get some noise but not as much as expected which was great. Especially seeing the majority of Harley Davidson's in NZ were in town for the Burt. I was also riding (but not an HD). Overall good place to stay.

    9SarahPosted on: 2-16-2025

    Welcoming hosts, room was clean and tidy and bed was comfortable.

    8KarenPosted on: 2-15-2025

    We were there for Burt Munro Challenge and it was good because there were a lot of other visitors there as well and it was like a family environment.

    There could have been a shelf or unit of some sort to store things in the bathroom. there was nowhere to put our toiletries as the basin top didn't have much space on it.

    10KevinPosted on: 2-13-2025

    9RosemaryPosted on: 11-8-2024

    Good location, friendly staff, comfortable bed- a good sleep.

    Fluctuating water temperature in shower.

    7LivPosted on: 10-3-2024

    Great location. Spacious rooms.

    The rooms were really dark and quite cold. I couldn’t open the only curtains in the room as other guests were sitting right outside the window.

    2DeannePosted on: 10-1-2024

    Wouldnt recommend or return

    The apartment was cold, the beds were hard, had a yuk smell and felt very uncomfortable.
