I booked here by mistake, intending to book at the Takapuna International Motor Lodge which has a rating over 8. Instead I booked this much lower rated accommodation and, well, you get what you pay for. Staff did their best. Very nice staff. But the accommodation was underwhelming.

Shoppes nearby, parking was accessible. No one was on site at check-in initially and that made the process difficult. I chose this place based on the fact that it had a pool, but the pool was covered, though the weather supported an open pool. The shower leaked very bad and water was all over the floor. I left early because of this fact.

Place was ok but dated, needed a more thorough clean (marks on walls etc) and desperately needs double glazing. The windows are so thin and the joinery hard to open/close and as it's on a main road it's very loud. I imagine winters would be freezing! Could do with a smart TV as well to stream our own platforms. Otherwise, we had what we needed for a reasonable price.
