Annoyed with myself for thinking i got a black friday deal, when in fact it wasnt and it was advertised in USD instead oF fNZ. It was a non refundable one so we committed to it. The place is warm in summer, so on hot days you may have to rent a fan. Otherwise good.

Great place for a cheaper option. The doors were very noisy on the first night as they closed at each time someone went though but that would be the only downside of the property. Room was very clean and modern
