The bed was clean and comfortable. Tv remote was terrible to try and get anything to work. Windows real hard to open/ shut. Towel rail in bathroom fell off if you touched it. Generally needs a lot of maintenance.

Disliked: Staff & service
The staff are kind and friendly but Internet barely works, if you are willing to wait 30 seconds to a minute for anything to load then feel free to stay here, plus only works in certain parts of the room, the tvs are hit or miss depending on the room, the rooms get the bare minimum cleaning and maintanence. People drive out the driveway the wrong way all the time plus have zero consideration for others in the world. Worth maybe $10 per night less without some investment.

Close to Westlake Girls College was the only reason for staying. Room clean enough but bathroom needed a deep clean and shower head was broken but there’s good hot water. Linen was clean. There were a number of broken things in the Unit & we took pictures incase we got charged for them. Parking was outside unit. No staff present and we didnt receive an email with details about collecting the key. Hard to ask questions over the phone before hand, as the person looks after a number of places.

Property is run down and in poor condition. Zero in person contact at reception, only telephone calls. You need to phone on arrival to get key from lockbox. Room was old, door had been forced open at some point with crowbar, TV would not work, heater did not function, showerhead broken, security chain broken, deadlock bolts on both doors loose. Bed was comfortable however and parking available but that was only plus. Do not stay here.

I booked here by mistake, intending to book at the Takapuna International Motor Lodge which has a rating over 8. Instead I booked this much lower rated accommodation and, well, you get what you pay for. Staff did their best. Very nice staff. But the accommodation was underwhelming.

We stayed for 3 nights. Upon arrival I had to ring the number on the door as I never got check in details. Then the tv didn't work & when the man there tried to see what was going on, he bought another remote - not compatible. 2nd day we asked again & he said he would get the sky man to come in. We left seeing no sky guy & no tv. The spa was green. Pool was ok - son got in a few times. No information guide in the room to see where to go & things to do in the area. Bed was clean & warm. Heater was loud as the fan rattled. Towels changed daily & rubbish emptied.
