The place is very dated, which is okay but really needed a good clean of everything, walls, ceilings, skirting boards. Room slept 5 people but not enough cutlery or crockery for 5 people, had to share glasses and plates. Really need to put a bit of effort into the place

Kitchen had basic equipment,initially no dishcloth or teatowel which were supplied on request,several times only dishclothes supplied but no teatowels.Freezer compartment of fridge was iced up leaving little space to use. No space to safely move around main bed without banging into wooden corner of bed. Curtains missing hooks . Stairs and deck requires wash down as very dusty.As was called an "Apartment" expected a better standard.

Good location for a motor camp in Auckland. Has the basics. Shower pressure and Wifi both essentially non-existent in our unit. Pool would have been great in summer.

The receptionist was so sweet and helpful, I booked the luxury cabin (glass capsule) for a couple nights for me and a friend before heading to a concert at spark arena, might I say these are thee most cutest most affordable, lots on the block, there’s a dairy aswell as foursquare not far away. yet perfect for two. I highly recommend to any couples aswell, not suitable for more than two people. I will definitely be coming back again
