    Pros +

    • Lovely stay, friendly staff, room was clean, spacious and had everything we needed.
    • Very accommodating in regards to car parking position as the spots are tight and there was a very large vehicle next to where I was meant to park
    • You pretty much get what you expect here. The small studio was clean and bright. The site was understandable quiet. Staff were cheerful and efficient.

    Cons -

    • I couldn't find a cloth to use to wipe down surfaces, rubbish bin lid on the underside was dirty. But otherwise room was good value for money.
    • The walls are pretty thin so we could hear our neighbours talking (shouting) and despite the site being quiet all the visitors were places next to each other for some reason.
    • Bathroom sink was blocked and windows were too high to reach/close so the blinds were banging against the window sill throughout the night from the wind/breeze coming through.

    Plenty of space with adequate facilities for the time needed.

    Bathroom sink was blocked and windows were too high to reach/close so the blinds were banging against the window sill throughout the night from the wind/breeze coming through.

    Handy location

    Lock on the door was hard to manageParking was very tight

    9HorowaewaePosted on: 2-5-2026

    Close to restaurants, shops and beach.

    10AmandaPosted on: 2-1-2026

    Great location. Modern. Clean. Great bed.

    A tiny bit noisy in our corner room 10 when nxt door were socialising with door open as echoed. But it was short.

    9ReneePosted on: 1-23-2026

    Great location. Easy to walk to bay, beach, cafes and restaurants. The young men who have recently refurbished the property have done a great job. The room is tastefully decorated, spacious, comfy bed, fridge, micro, cook top and pans, toaster, crockery and good quality wine glasses. A very affordable option for being close to everything.

    9KatherinePosted on: 1-21-2026

    Comfortable bed in nicely renovated room. Great location

    10WendyPosted on: 1-20-2026

    Friendly and informative checkin. Some aspects modernised the interior effectively. Spotlessly clean.

    Street noise - boy racers, but it settled.

    10TarynPosted on: 1-20-2026

    Accommodation was great! Clean and tidy, staff were great to deal with and super friendly. Location perfect. Will book again for future work travel.

    10LeishaPosted on: 1-18-2026

    Amazing location. Staff were so good, nothing was an issue. Very comfortable room.

    10MaiaPosted on: 1-18-2026

    Good location, nice

    Needs window tints as it’s facing right out to the carpark

    5MikePosted on: 1-11-2026

    Location.

    Not clean - hair everywhere. No body wash in container in shower. No one on reception and no one answered phone number that we were provided with to call.

    9RuthPosted on: 1-5-2026

    Location outstanding. Room is clean, fresh and modern. It's a great set up for a stay so close to the center. Can walk from there to beach, shops and the Mount.

    Limited outside area for sitting in the sun.

    8StephaniePosted on: 1-5-2026

    Great location, clean modern space, comfortable beds and great shower

    10PaulaPosted on: 1-4-2026

    Fantastic location. Walking distance to everything: the shops, the beach & the Mount. A nice & modern apartment, clean & very comfortable. Carpark right outside the front door. Great coffee across the road, & a Four Square very closeby.

    7ThompsonPosted on: 1-1-2026

    Was a decent room great location, clean was good

    the shower needed to have a good scrub down, there were ants all over the floor too

    8ColinPosted on: 12-31-2025

    The double shade system,location,staff friendliness,including cleaning staff.

    The tight parking,wasn’t good for a Toyota Hi lux,the shower curtain needs fixing to prevent leakage

    3SommerPosted on: 12-30-2025

    It was close to shopping centre

    The room was dirty, hair on the wall in the shower. Floors not vacuumed or mopped. Dishes were dirty when we got there.
