My family and I stayed here for two days and found our experience quite enjoyable. The staff were amazing and accommodated to our needs which I appreciated. We stayed in 3 rooms as my whanau is big in numbers and we liked how close and convenient we were to each other.

A significant number of the rooms is being used for emergency housing... that means noisy and domestic arguments at all hours of the night. They should advertise the fact that it is used for emergency housing...

Our room was very dated, there was mould in bathroom and the shower pressure was ridiculous for the small size of it, too powerful i couldnt wash my little one in there. The carpet was that old and dirty i wouldnt let my infant crawl on it. The couch had food marks on it and the wallpaper was lifting. The room needs a complete revamp and deep clean. Also there was a muck up with the room we ordered and had prepaid. They tried to give us a smaller room where the bedding configuration didnt suit, i questioned and the host eventually found a similar room. We did find him pleasant during our stay.
