Property is well-located, being close to airport and close to Tahunanui. There are a number of eating places in close proxmity. It is located on a main road, which carries a lot of traffic and it can be noisy.

Our accomodation was extremely clean , new and comfortable for our stay and we really enjoyed it . The road noise was an issue for us and would be so good if it could be rectified somehow and higher occupancy 😊.
