Stayed overnight to break up the drive to wellington. Really helpful that we were able to check in late. Excellent communication from provider. Studio was immaculate, clean and stylish, with everything we needed for our stay. Could hear passing traffic, but did not bother us. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you.

Traffic is very convenient and not noisy. The room is cozy and relax. Very recommend for others. The hot water and cold water are not mix in the bathroom face wash. Since that, it would be better to reduce the temperature of the hot water.

Great place, just had an issue getting key back in lock box when checking out, called the number on lock box all morning and couldn't get through to anyone so called email number and they said to leave key on table. So hopefully it's all ok.

Average at best

Pretty basic. No place to wash laundry which is an issue when you go hiking and do sports. No flyscreens; had to go go and buy something to get rid of mosquitos. Pictures look much nicer than it actually was. Property needs overhaul! I wouldn’t go back.

Very neat and clean. The room had everything we needed from tea/coffee to towels and even make-up remover. The bed was a little uncomfortable but that is due to my preferences of a firm mattress and pillow. All in all is was a great experience.
