The property is very central which does mean its was a bit noisy. The accomodation was adequate and clean. There is no daily clean unless you ask which we found a bit odd as we have been all around NZ and it was the first stop that didnt include it. Nice view (just) from balcony.

This is no more than a three star motel under new management. The place has a very off putting smell. We paid for the breakfast but the cafe (I suspect under new management as well) is 1 star at best, my daughter and I both felt ill after eating here and hotel management refused to let us cash in our remaining vouchers so we could eat at a better place. Financially and logistically I understand this but as an experience it added to the bad taste in our mouths. If you stay here DO NOT get the breakfast.
