What a wonderfully clean and modern property, in a great location. Just close enough to the town centre to be easily accessible, but not right in town in the midst of noise. And very close to the wonderful Pukekura Park as well. The room (2 bedroom apartment) was spotlessly clean, well appointed, and very comfortable. Could not fault the service at check-in, as well as the friendliness of the owner/manager when requesting a top-up of towels, milk, and tea bags (we didn't require a full service). Excellent!
