Our stay was short but, it’s slightly out from the city centre but there is an amazing place across the road for a Saturday’s farmers market. we had a lot of fun in the swimming pool. It was very clean and our kids loved the pool. And then when having a shower. The water pressure was amazing. The rooms were spotless, The staff were easygoing and friendly can not fault their service. We would definitely stay here again.

Little piece of Paradise

Just stayed for one night for work. Jacqui and Andrew made me feel so welcome, loved the complimentary drink on arrival. The unit was spacious and modern with a lot of thoughtful touches. The grounds were well kept and quiet, apart from some birds to start the day. Would definitely return.

Booked accommodation online with no issues. I turned up after hours and was offered a complementary drink. My room was clean with all the amenities you could hope for with the option for a spa bath separate from the shower. Happy with the service and will definitely return.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Our flight from Sydney to Auckland was cancelled 6 days prior to arriving, meaning it was impossible to keep our reservation. The hotel was not accommodating because of their 7 day policy. Eventually passed it off to Expedia and washed their hands of us. They could have worked with us and Expedia and made the choice to not care and to keep our $250 for the single night we were booked. We are very displeased at their lack of consideration.
