Guest Reviews

• Hazel (8/5): - The apartment was compact but had been renovated and was clean, tidy. The living area was small but comfortable. The kitchen was new and well equipped. All the ‘white ware’ was in new condition. The apartment description was listed as having ‘2 bathrooms’ which was why I booked it for 6 adults- it actually has only one bathroom and a toilet in the laundry. Access and parking down a leg-in driveway for 2 cars meant for considerable manoeuvring- and effort to keep the neighbours happy!
• Pip (10/5): Ideal for families - Lovely location, close to bike park and kids' playground, as well as on the marina for a delicious dinner! One of the main bedroom's windows didn't close properly so it let a bit of a chill in
• Tepania (9/5): Fantastic stop for my family, enjoyed the short stay - Everything was great Only the shower pressure was a lil weak
• stephanie (9/5): Lovely stay - We had a lovely few days, and will definitely return and recommend. A dryer would have really been good.
• Tracey (9/5): - Great location and facilities
• Angela (10/5): - Location and facilities, beautiful and clean, great location and great parking!
• Ohjiri (10/5): -
• Ra (8/5): Covenient, and location to Okara Park and town basin good - location to Okara Park too close to main road, very noisy. Condensation on all windows, contributed to dampness and cold in the house.
• Omeela (8/5): - Convenient location Spacious Comfortable beds New/well maintained kitchen and its facilities Bathroom very spacious and clean Manager of site didn’t reply to my several messages Door auto locks on day of checkout irrespective of the time. Almost got locked out at 7am on checkout morning Lots of spiders in each bedroom especially in corners- had to spray all rooms throughly when we got there.
• Valerie (8/5): Comfortable apartment in good location - Great location close to marina, coffee shop and other amenities. Comfortable house with off-street parking in front of apartment. Washing machine, well-equipped kitchen and bathroom. Beds are very comfortable. Noisy road very audible in bedrooms. Workers started without prior notice early morning in front of bedroom and bathroom windows.
• Robyn (9/5): A convenient place to stay and visit with others in Whangarei. - Access to the Town Basin and airport were easy. The house was very clean and had plenty of room for a family with all amenities. Road noise was the only negative.. double panes windows would help??
• Martin (7/5): It met our needs -
• Jeff (6/5): Pleasant -
• Jocelyn (10/5): Excellent otherwise - We tried to ask for a late check out due to playing an 8am hockey game but we got no reply from our message or ph call
• Michael (2/5): Very poor -
• Sylva (8/5): All good -
• Tao (10/5): Exceptional - nice clean house. great location, walking to the lake.
• Bernadette (8/5): Very good - Comfortable and clean with everything we needed. Some nice thoughtful additions. Pleasantly decorated . Need to mention stairs in your advertising. People with mobility issues would find stairs to bedrooms a challenge. Communication with hosts was not clear and caused some stress re checking out time which we believed from communication had been extended and then a final communication which appeared to be automated appeared to cancel this arrangement. Parking was a challenge, especially with truck parked on driveway unit. If that had been parked in the alternate space for that unit, access would have been less challenging.
• Sylvia (9/5): Perfect. Definitely recommend to stay there -
• Polly (10/5): Exceptional -
• Tom (7/5): Location was good - The location was good and easy walking distance to the town basin and parks. Very warm in the bedrooms could do with a/c. Located beside a busy road and quite loud because the window seals are non existent. Lots of spiders and cobwebs inside the house, could do with a good clean frequently. The windows were quite dirty on the outside. No bedside table lamps for reading at night. Couldn't find the BBQ as was stated in the amenities. The water pressure in the shower was very low at times.
• Crystal (10/5): Exceptional - Clean, modern and everything you need. House was listed as having a dryer but this was not the case. Dryer would have been helpful
• Danielle (8/5): Very good -
• Victoria (8/5): Clean and tidy with everything needed for a family stay. - Good location and beds were supportive and comfortable. It was advertised as two bathrooms, but it is one bathroom with two separate toilets.
• Toorenburg (9/5): Superb -
• Justin (10/5): Lovely home with everything in it to make our stay comfortable. We would definitely stay again, thank you ! - The house had everything we needed and very comfortable
• Christian (10/5): Easy - Close to town, very tidy and comfortable.
• Raymond (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jo (7/5): Good -
• Ian (9/5): Very well appointed with plentiful crockery, cutlery, full kitchen, laundry and 2 toilets. - No breakfast was included in the deal - all self-catering. Location was very good. Close to main attractions. Walking distance to many. It was mid-winter and cold. Maybe a bathroom heater and electric blankets would be good for winter. A hair dryer would also be a useful addition.
• Scott (9/5): Nice and close to kids playground, walk to cafes - Very comfortable, clean. Moden kitchen and TV. Linen provided. Slight sound from road in the night.
• Jodie (10/5): Exceptional - The space was great and warm too Needed a couple extra chairs for the dining room table to fit everyone in

• Juliet (10/5): Exceptional - The house was clean tidy and very nice, it felt like we were tucked away from the city which was nice, very family friendly spacious and perfect for a family get away. The beds were very comfortable for every one. I was abit apprehensive with the shared driveway, but actually was fine.
• Kimshim (9/5): Superb - Perfect location for what we were after. House was very modern and clean. Beds were so comfortable. Would definitely stay here again. Little tricky backing down the driveway but that was the only minor thing.
• Phillip (8/5): Easy and comfortible - No issue s all good all good
• Jason (10/5): Very nicely decorated and very comfortable, super handy location, would definitely stay here again. - Fantastic location, walked to the quay for dinner. Interior was brand new and top quality, very comfortable.

Has everything you need, nice furniture and styled well, bed is comfortable, tidy and clean, would highly recommend and stay again, close to town.
