We rolled up a little early on Christmas Eve and just loved the spot with the sun rolling in. As well as Christmas and birthday to attend it was nice to also visit the Polynesian Pools, Government Gardens and walk near the lake all within easy walking distance. Definitely recommend it.
A little alarmed when we saw the block of “flats” but once inside we were relieved to find a large modern apartment. Large kitchen, main bedroom all on the ground floor. So close to Govt. gardens, town, restaurants. Parking is at the back using driveway in Pukuatua St
Stayed four nights in January. This property has significant potential, though some functional issues impacted my stay. On the positive side, the location is terrific and very walkable. The recent renovations show well; the kitchen is huge and well-equipped, the bathroom is modern, and the living area is spacious and well-laid-out. These rooms were exceptionally comfortable and aesthetically pleasing.On the negative side, the geothermal floor heat made the apartment uncomfortably hot, requiring all windows and the balcony door to be open at night. As this is a ground-floor unit with large street-facing windows, sleeping with them open felt like a security risk. While NZ is safe and a police station is nearby, I’d strongly suggest the owners install the security covers seen on other units. Additionally, the master mattress is extremely firm—likely the hardest I’ve encountered in a rental.If the cooling and window security were addressed, this would easily be a 4/5 stay; with a more forgiving mattress, it’s a 5/5. For now, the trade-off between comfort and security means I wouldn't choose to stay here again.
Booked due to high ratings but arrived to a dilapidated building (for sale) with entrance off a gravel alley in center of town. Entry filled with bird poop and glass door. Unit is on first floor and there is no AC. We couldn’t leave doors and windows open for security concerns as the unit opens to sidewalk. Furniture, rug and accents were worn and shabby. The kitchen was recently renovated but didn’t stay to find out how everything worked. We left after a couple hours as we didn’t feel safe to stay. I contacted the host and explained our situation and requested a refund but so far have been ghosted by the host and received no reply. Beware of other reviews for this unit. It looks nice in the photos but looks can be deceiving.
