Worst place we have stayed in NZ for our 14 days holiday. And price is the not cheap. Strong smoke smell in the room. Door lock is not working well, hard to open from inside. Bathroom is so so dirty. Lots of black stuff in the bathtub. Stains on sink, towels and bed sheets. Chairs so dirty. Saw some insects in the bathroom. I just hope they did wash their beddings and towels properly. Also we can hear music from other rooms at night. So disgusting, feeling so distressed that has to staying here for a night.

The property is dated. Thankfully the bed was comfortable enough to make me overlook the downside of the bathroom. The shower is very much like the hospital shower room. Sound proofing isn't that great as I can hear people running outside. Towels do have stains on them.

The room was big and spacious and enough space for a family of five. Kitchen was stocked with utensils, pots and pans for simple cooking during our stay there. It was summer and the weather was hot. The air con didn't reach the top level so it was very hot even during the night. Would be nice if a fan could be provided. There was some stains on the beddings so cleaning can be improved but otherwise our family had a great stay.

Room was very tired, with stained carpet throughout. It also is in need of a good clean as the floor left our freshly showered feet black and was sticky (plus shower mat came off the ground covered in dark marks). The beds were clean and comfortable but the towels and face cloths were stained and not clean. When we washed dishes and cleaned down the kitchen sink, mould flicked out of the kitchen drain with the brush.

The only good thing i can say about the room was it was nice and big and you could open a sliding door out to a small outdoor courtyard. It was very neglected, there was a terrible smell quite alike to a smell you get when entering a resthome, the pillow cases had stains. The shower head would not stay up. The owners door knocked after 9 am when check out was at 10 so not sure what that was about as a different language was being spoken. It did seem as if repairs/maintainance was starting.
