Tidy clean unit for a good price. The shower is desperate for an upgrade with a chipped bit of edge and a lot older than the rest of the unit.

The room was quiet and had everything you need for a 1 night stay. Staff need to ensure if the fire alarm activates there is a full and proper investigation of the property as the alarm was just reset without any checking of the remainder of the property. If the procedure was followed correctly the Fire Brigade should have been called.

Fire brigade is only required if an actual fire exists. Main locator board indication was for the room that had notified us that they had burnt their tea. Secondary board confirmed this. Alarm is to alert management and guests, all were outside their rooms. All alerts were reset, if a fire existed or smoke was still in the room, they can not be reset as only the fire brigade can do that. False alarms are common place in the industry, and appropriate action was taken.

I thought it was close to town so walking was ok. Management seem scared of unruly people who stay as I complained regarding a bunch of them next door to me regarding loud music swearing fighting bottle breaking yelling outside window no privacy in bathroom spare bedroom or kitchen I couldn’t go to bathroom with light on because louts in next room were outside looking in and windows offer NO privacy

My wife dealt with the guest when you rang just before 9 pm. Guest are allowed visitors up to 10pm . The guest quietened down and went into town . No noise was apparent from that time on, as my wife continued to check during the evening. . No bottles or glass was broken outside or inside the rooms. All rooms comply with NZ/AUS standards for safety and privacy, as required by law. No other quest registered complaints.
