Emergency stay
Reviewed By shetahallAfter a missed flight (7pm and rescheduled for 6.30am) my son suggested I stay here. Hauling bags to the top floor wasn't easy! There was no-one at the reception, so I had to fumble my way with the outside lockbox for access. I had booked a room with a bathroom - however the bathroom was across the hall so this was disappointing ... especially with having to use the facility in the night and having to ensure I had the key to my room so I didn't lock myself out!! The room was cold, the heater made loud clunks so it was easier to leave this off and deal with the cold. Perhaps ideal for students or low cost/less fussy travellers. Not my cup of tea.

Fantastic Location but beware 5 Stars rating
Reviewed By 717eddieyBooked 3 nights in 2 bedroom, 2 storey, Townhouse. Fantastic location with Cuba Mall just around the corner and in the heart of retail & hospitality offerings. Secure parking with EV charging however only really room for 1 car to charge as 2nd space was half taken up with plywood shed!! No restaurant but Townhouse has fully equipped kitchen although toaster was missing. Wifi is unsecure but management will provide secure password protected WIFI if asked. There's a small courtyard with no real outlook but typical of urban design. There is no heatpump/aircon system and instead 2 small oil radiators - wonder what it would be like in the dead of winter! No housekeeping until you leave so you need to ask for more shower gel each day. Definitely not 5 stars as everything felt tired with all appliances are old eg Dishwasher powder drawer was missing its door, Dryer kept blinking warning signals although it did dry, The upshot was the hot water cylinder developed a slow leak which eventually flooded the carpet. Window glass was single glazed so back to the gas radiators for minimal comfort. No facilities in bedroom except a tallboy in wardrobe so luggage had to be left on floor. Its an OK place for families but not 5 stars. We'll try the Suites next time.

Poor customer service.
Reviewed By Zoltan330I went into this bar for a drink and a snack yesterday. After having a drink I went up to the bar to order a snack from the menu. Had to wait for service as the owner who was in the bar did not approach me. When I finally got served I ordered an item off the bar menu and was told by the barman with a flick of his hand, oh we are shutting at 6pm, I am not making any snacks this late. His tone was rude and this was at 5.10pm which gave him plently of time before closing. Based on this, I will not be setting foot in that bar again.

Subpar and worrying poor quality
Reviewed By 379clarehWe spent a long weekend here. The beds were nice but we were surprised at how subpar a lot of things were. The couches and chairs in the lounge were really dirty, the washing machine was really dirty and the dryer's timer didn't work, the baby cot they provided was definitely not safe for our six month old baby to sleep in (slightest movement would make it collapse), and there is a hole in the kitchen ceiling with a bucket under it (which was not a toddler friendly solution). We also found a lot of mouse droppings and other dirt under the cushions on the sofa bed. When we arrived there there were dirty dishes in the dishwasher and the lint filter on the dryer was dangerously full. We definitely wouldn't stay here again, especially for the amount of money that is charged.

Boutique with a capital B.
Reviewed By cedarlarkNZA beautiful unit in beautiful grounds. The unit is spacious and comfortable. Large glass windows and doors open onto a large sheltered deck with views of the trees, ponds, birds, mountains. Green and lush. Beautiful, large and well equipped kitchen, lovely large bathroom, very comfortable bed. And the hosts were lovely and friendly and welcoming. All round a great place that was great value for money.
