This is our second time staying here with family. Its so central to everywhere we need to go. The only downside is the wifi is patchy. Kids could use their phones but I couldnt use my laptop. Beds are clean and comfy. Kitchen in our unit was equipped with what we needed. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Bottles and cans and cigerette butts around the property. Not enough towels or sheets, had to ask. Floors were sticky and made our feet covered in dust and hairs. Sheets and towels were clean. Terrible wifi. Good location to Takapuna beachfront and shops. Easy motorway access. Wouldn't stay here again.
