Went to check in on arrival. Reception was closed...sign on door states "Im away from Reception ring the bell or call this number" Number is answered by a random person who asks where you are ringing from. I tell them there is another customer thats been waiting for 30 minutes. The other customer could'nt understand the person on the phone. They then gave me a code for the lockbox to hand the keys out. I told them I wanted to talk to Reception..and when would they be back, I was told 4pm. Nobody turned up, the same sign was up for 2 days. How ridiculous to have no one onsight. What must our overseas visitors think. Great kiwi hospitality....NOT.

No one was manning the place - cleaning staff unable to communicate due to lack of English ,external light shone into room all night so we had to hang blanket over curtains ,all glassware unclean ,whole complex old and tired. Our smoke alarm went off due to bathroom steam and a loud fan was on the whole time so had to sleep with earplugs. Won’t be returning

Basic low cost accomodation which was fine for 3 guys to put their heads down overnight for a few hours sleep on a road trip Sth - prior to catching the Cook Straight Ferry which is an easy 15 minute off peak run down the motorway. Night manager was great - wait to dial zero after the closed / office hours advice.

The place is clean and very good value for your money. The location is also excellent since it is very close to the mall. Reception is unattended most of the time but it wasn't a major issue for us. Checkin and checkout is a breeze. The staff/cleaner was very helpful as well.

Tidy comfortable but tired accommodation- price reflective so that’s ok. Staff was nice to Deal with and if I had some constructive criticism it would be please fix the front door lock and keep the shower curtain updated at all times, no one wants to shower with pink/red/black mould on it shower curtain. A cheap fix by replacing it would make a difference. Overall pleasant experience

stayed in studio room was a bit outdated visible mold on walls and around window joinery windows hard to close and open probably just old, visible patch jobs on wallpaper to keep it sticking to wall, shower head was cracked so water sprayed out onto toilet as well as body, shower curtain also a bit moldy and did not cover shower area well enough so bathroom was pretty soaked after a shower. Room also never serviced for new towels or taking rubbish away. TV and Wi-Fi also very slow and buffered, check in and check out were easy. Price was pretty good for area and what you get.

No one in reception - had to phone to get the key and wait while they located someone to deliver it. Booked for two people and there was only one towel - the staff member looked surprised when we asked for a second one. Looked for a power point to plug in the bedside lamp but there was none (did find a dirty sock from a previous occupant). The bed was comfortable but staff service was non existent.

We have stayed at this PPTY for over 20 yrs. Always enjoyed it, but it is getting very tired. Just needs a bit of tidying. Curtains are reasonably new but not hung properly. Not enough crockery or towels for the amount of occupants in room. However, l would stay again as the rooms are spacious and the price is rght.

Step back in time!

Apartment was a bit tired and dated. Not well equipped, had a kitchen but no forks, had to ask for them. Very limited pans. No washing up liquid, tea towels and to cap it all no can opener. Upon opening the fridge there were pieces missing so were unable to store anything in the door. Would have rather booked a place with no advertised kitchen, so I knew I would have to eat out.
