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.

Staff were fine. Essentially, the place was clean and bed was good. Reasonable for the price. However, the room very tired and smelt a little. Bird poos on the exterior kitchen window ledge.

Room was suitable. Good facilities to be self sufficient. Has a fan and no air conditioner. We booked because it had a pool. It closed at 5pm and we could not use it. It was also supposed to be open at 9am but it was not open when we left at 10am.
