Staff were awesome. Great location, especially with Aotea Lagoon right there. They're doing wuite a few upgrades, so should get better.
Lovely stay and a convenient location. The hosts are beautiful people and went out of their way to help when I had a few minor issues with the TV. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for budget-friendly accommodation.

Staff upon arrival were super polite and wonderful. Even though it is under renovation and a bit messy the Room was clean and spacious, bed was very comfortable.
Expectional customer service by the new owners. She was very polite,straight forward and very informative on what's going on with the renovations going on in the place with the beautiful rooms and further down the line conference rooms and a restaurant. Highly recommended
Staff were nice to deal with. Rooms are basic but it was what we wanted. Bed was very nice to sleep in and there was no noise from other units. Units are well off the road so no noise there either. Having units so far from the road makes parking so much safer for your car overnight. Would stay here again when in the area.
The shower didn’t have cold water, only scaldingly hot water so we could not take a decent shower. No AC so the room was hot. We opened the windows to cool down, but the adjacent roadway is busy and loud all night long.
