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.

I booked this as required last minute accommodation in Taupo which was fully booked. The chalet was quiet and nice in general but let down by the fact it smelled bad inside and the shower didn’t work (a mere trickle). I found this unsatisfactory especially considering the high price of the booking.
