Overall, it was a nice place, walking distance to main street; restaurants, boutiques, cafés and a short 20 min ride to sandbanks national park / beaches, Wellington and other attractions. Parking was included (2 spots). The downside, the apartment itself could use a much better cleaning. Thank God the cleaning products were at our disposal, the toilet was honestly gross... I don't want to have to clean other people's bathrooms on my vacation, but I had to. The bed sheets weren't even put properly, only the fitted sheet and the duvet — which is always a question in regards to whether it was cleaned or not. We found little black hairs in our bed sheets, found the other sheet folded up on the wall mounted unit near the bed and made the bed ourselves. The floors were also dirty, leaving our feet/socks all black. Also, if you are travelling with young children, the stairs that are in the middle of the apartment are quite scary. They are in between the kitchen and the living room, we had to be on constant alert with our youngest.
