One night only, but the unit was let down by 1980s décor, a door missing in kitchen, kitchen taps were almost unusable just rubbish, and should be replaced, bathroom was clean but everything at least 40 years old. It did not match the price I paid plus the lead in lane , was gravel pitted with 100s of potholes.

Stayed overnight to break up the drive to wellington. Really helpful that we were able to check in late. Excellent communication from provider. Studio was immaculate, clean and stylish, with everything we needed for our stay. Could hear passing traffic, but did not bother us. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you.

Units are dated but clean, poor lighting in the bathroom and no steam extractor fan. Air con was great. Single bed mattress more suitable for a child. Deep pot holes in the driveway.

Great place, just had an issue getting key back in lock box when checking out, called the number on lock box all morning and couldn't get through to anyone so called email number and they said to leave key on table. So hopefully it's all ok.

Property was clean, open, inviting. Kids loved the playground and the big grassy area for them to run around in. Not to mention the amazing view from the 10 minute walk up the back of the property
