Palmdale accommodation from NZ$172

The Villa itself was modern and had been renovated in the last few years, however it is not worth the extra money to “upgrade” to a villa. They are very small units which share walls with your neighbours, meaning you can hear all conversations all hours of the day. There is no privacy, as all unit entrances are next to one another, meaning your main living area is on display to anyone who walks past to get to their designated unit. The bed is super uncomfortable, and the lack of airflow in the bedrooms is really annoying, there is no aircon, only a fan provided which was like a jet plane taking off. The perks of Pelicans is the location, 2 minutes from the beach and 3 minutes to some of the best look out points in Albany, however any shops/restaurants are a further drive back into town (10/15minutes). We enjoyed our stay due to the town and location, but I wouldn’t stay at pelicans again, the price point is astronomical compared to what you are receiving. I can’t talk for the apartments, but the villas are not worth it.

The staff were great the room was very neat and was pleased that they serviced the room everyday. Would highly recommend and go again. Food in restaurant was excellent

Breakfast was very nice and reasonably priced, dinner was absolutely lovely. Food was special. Would definitely stay again.
