Good central location. Short walk to Sky Tower, 7 min walk to Hobson St bus terminal (took InterCity bus to Rotorua after our stay) & near shopping areas. Bed was comfortable & good size for our 2 bedroom apartment. Only complaint, washer but no dryer so we hung our clothes around the apartment. Also need dishwashing liquid, kitchen sponges/towels & paper towels.
