Guest Reviews
- Guest (10/5): - Beautiful space. Very safe and left alone.
- Dave (9/5): - Fantastic old building. Has been refurbished really well. Location was also very central. Shower was a little odd but not a major issue.
- Lane (10/5): - Great place The lights in one of the rooms didn’t work
- HAOHUA (3/5): - the apartment's front door can't be locked! And I called the manager, he literally said who will walk into your room, it is dunedin not middle of new york! He said he will send some one to have a look, but no one turned up. I ended up in taking my suitcase and chairs against the door! Also, at the midnight, i walked to the front door of the whole buiding, and it was left open by other ppl. As a woman travelling alone, I feel extremely unsafe and can't sleep in the night. very bad experinece.
- Kirsty (10/5): Exceptional -
- Anonymous (9/5): Loved the accomadation - One issue was that it was a little cold - the heater in the downstairs bedroom was not big enough for a room that size
- Kim (9/5): Superb -
- Sandy (10/5): Exceptional -
- Michaela (10/5): Fabulous accommodation highly recommend - Gorgeous heritage building done up lovely. It was very spacious and each bedroom had its own ensuite (great water pressure) The beds and bedding was super comfortable. Electric blankets were a lovely treat. Very warm, we would definitely like to stay here again. Nothing
- Karen (9/5): Superb -
- David (5/5): Passable - Great location, facilities dated and a bit tired. Plenty of dust and cobwebs about the place....
Good for me, but female members of the family not so forgiving. Cleanliness and dated.

- Andrew (10/5): Apartment Gem - Perfection will the ultimate comfort thrown in. No faults. N/A
- Julia (9/5): Awesome stay for a couple - I loved the interior, easy access and location. It's best to treat the batthroom upstairs like it's not there — not really suitable for 2 couples

- Anonymous (1/5): Bad -
- Andrea (5/5): Disappointing for the money paid - Location great. Couch amazing. Beds comfortable and apartment lovely and warm. Apartment will be beautiful when completed. Location good. Its almost fantastic. The Spa was empty/broken which was our ONLY reason for booking this venue... No instructions on how to use any of the fancy equipment (Sauna, TV's etc) Lots of unfinished work (wiring, tiling, holes in ceilings etc). Stairs up to second bedroom very creaky and felt unsafe and very very small spiral staircase (we went up on all fours!). Some sort of beeping alarm in hallway that went off every 5 seconds ALL THE TIME. Bathrooms tiny compared to size of apartment, showers extremely tight fit no matter what your size, Sauna very small (only room for 1 if you're lucky) and no instructions on how to use. No Milk or Coffee provided, its such a high end looking place but no coffee machine or plunger, just plain tea bags and a jug. No Parking or even instructions/ideas of where you could park.
- Aimee (10/5): Thanks so much Jon, you’re a great host and you are very lucky to have such a nostalgic piece of NZ Music history! Beaut - The apartment was just perfect! With an added touch of music history within the interior brick walls and decor! The shower has a sauna and massage jets … and music inside! Def a cool added touch! Super comfy bed and the cutest little outdoor setting with a gas heater to keep you warm! Host even let me choose from two available apartments so it was very cool to be able to explore some of the building! It was really sad that the spa wasn’t working, it would make the outdoor space just that bit more relaxing and a great addition for couples on a relaxing weekend.
- Shearer (9/5): Stylish apartment perfectly located - The whole style and ambience of the unit was fantastic Sealing around the windows!
- Adrian (10/5): Exceptional -
- Brett (10/5): Very nice surprise after a long days travel and hospital appointment - All good
