Guest Reviews

- Debra (10/5): a truly lovely apartment with plenty of space in a quiet location. - The location was terrific. It was very close to the Botany Town Centre so finding a meal, and some shopping, was easy. It was also a quiet place .
- O'Connor (9/5): Enjoyable stay, great location - It was a lovely spacious apartment with very comfortable beds. Great location right across from Botany town Centre Internet wasn’t very good

- Nelz (10/5): - I like the location it is all close to shopping center and easy access bus to the CBD. A comfy place it's nice and quite to walk in the morning and afternoon around the area.
- Choon Sup (4/5): Why another tax invoice - best location in Botany region Ants in the kitchen and the north facing bedroom. No soap or shampoo holders in the shower booth and toilet cistern leaking as shown on pictures attached. I had to buy ants killing spray myself and had been watching every day. Later on a staff brought a kind of sticky liquid and installed it along the area ants appearing. Mostly remedied by staffs but not quick enough. Very uncomfortable experience.
Finally I have received the tax invoice from this accommodation today. The tax invoice which I have already paid on 3 Feb 2026, almost 3 month before. I want to ask the reason to this accommodation.
- Jackson (9/5): - Had all facilities available Base on bed was broken in main bedroom... we had to change it with another bed

- Als (10/5): -
- Joanne (5/5): - Suggest if you have young children and aged parent , stay away from this apartment. Unless you want to practice those amazing stairs.
Kitchen rangehood is dripping oil.
The toilet bowl is very smelly. I have to spray Harpic toilet spray myself.
- Alex (9/5): Accomodation was clean and practical for our stay! - Great location! Had all the provisions that we needed Wish we had a second bathroom as we had 4 people but it was ok!
- Joanna (10/5): Excellent stay we loved it! - Perfect apt in a perfect location. Aircon nice and cold and bedroom fans were a blessing. Small issue with the dryer that did not dry my load of washing the night before departure so had to take it elsewhere to dry. Not sure why had checked multiple times.
- Tony (6/5): - Location was good for my purpose Main bedroom window could not be closed completely, allowing in all trafic noise and wind during the night.
- Willie (7/5): - comfortable beds with good linen but could have provided more than one towel per person for a four night stay. traffic noise
- RatuFj (10/5): Great Property - Location was central to what we wanted to do. Clean, tidy premises, fully functional kitchen with all utensils, pots n plates provoded. Laundry, free Wifi Overall very good property - built on 3 levels (garage/laundry then kitchen/living+balcony the 2 bedrooms n bathroom/toilet on 3rd level. Steep stairs
- Philly (10/5): - The location is great, it was quiet, clean, and tidy.
- Zoé (10/5): - Emplacement proche de l’aéroport, très pratique. Endroit calme et appartement spacieux. L’interrupteur fait du bruit en continu donc si vous êtes au niveau 1 c’était assez dérangeant ..
- Tyson (10/5): Comfortable and convenient. Room was spacious, clean and had all we needed. - Spacious rooms. Conveniently close to shopping. Quiet. Nothing
- Craig (7/5): -
- Helm (8/5): Allround comfy and convenient - Good location, far enough from town, good access with public transport Bedrooms upstairs were quite hot and no AC to cool them down. A coffee plunger would have been great and perhaps a sharp knife.
A chair in the bedroom to hang clothes on would have been a bonus.
- Ray (10/5): -
- Joseph (10/5): - The accommodation was perfect.
Roomy
Clean and close to transport and shopping facilities
It was easy to communicate with the person operating the facility
- Chris (7/5): - Room had an odd small
- Karleen (10/5): Proche de tout et très bon rapport qualité prix - Super localisation, établissement très propre Fidèle à ses descriptions, j’ai tout validé
- Renaye (8/5): Great for what we were doing and the time spent there also value for money was great. -
- Alethea Faumuina (10/5): -
- Senita (10/5): - Wati is AMAZING to deal with. She was very helpful and we were grateful to have been dealing with her. I loved the fact that there was a washing machine and dryer in the room. Our room was a bit far from the pool (building #9) otherwise everything was great.
- 和也 (8/5): -
- Harmse (9/5): -
- Monique (9/5): - De locatie was perfect Geen bijzonderheden
- Tracey-Maree Houia (10/5): - Everything was absolutely 👌
Truly a remarkable accommodation property where from the get go everything was well thought out and provided. Absolutely NOTHING everything was 👌
- Anna (8/5): -
- Sibylle (10/5): Fabulous stay in great location - Fabulous apartment in great quiet location right next to Botany mall, perfect for shopping, groceries and restaurants, we loved everything about our stay there. Comfy beds and bathroom upstairs (shower cubicle is a bit on the small side); great living space with kitchen, dining, lounge and balcony on the first floor. A lot of stairs which didn’t bother us but you could ask for single level apartments too.
Off street parking in driveway.
Great pool for those hot days.
Very friendly and helpful property manager. Maybe better lighting in the laundry area, dryer didn’t work but that issue was addressed straight away.
Some deck chairs next to the pool would be fab too 😊
- Dirk (8/5): Great place, would recommend but kitchen really needs to be improved - Location !!!!!!
Pool, gym and tennis court !!! The kitchen equipment. Very poor
Needs to be upgraded, please put a coffee maker like a plunger( instant coffee sachets are terrible) proper salt and pepper grinders( not little sachets), chopping board (not a glass one 👎)
I know it is hygienic but terrible to cut on.
It’s not a big investment ( !) but would make a great difference.
Key system : if people do different things and are not coming and going at the same time how do they get in and out or can use the facilities ????
- 정숙 (8/5): -

- Mark (6/5): Overall a nice stay and with one or two tweaks could be an excellent experience . - Location , close to the Hub & Botany Plaza
Pool was nice A little bit dated and tired .
Had to carry Huge bunch of keys around with you to access everything when just one key card would do .
Also exterior entrance doors need to have Soft Close door stays fitted as every time other guests come and go the doors slam loudly reverberating through the apartments
- Altaf (10/5): Thank you Wati for looking after me and my family. - Everything was just perfect./Staff has excellent customer service especially Wati.

Nga Mihi. Nothing to fault.
- Erin (8/5): Convenient for short term stay - Close to shopping and restaurants, pool available, laundry and kitchen in unit Noisy road outside. A/c only downstairs when bedrooms are up. Mattresses need replacing
- TANGUY (7/5): Séjour très agréable - Très bien situé et très propre. Seul bémol, le sèche linge un peu capricieux, la cuisine qui mériterait plus d'équipement comme une cafetière et les matelas un peu dure. Le sèche linge un peu capricieux, la cuisine qui mériterait plus d'équipement comme une cafetière et les matelas un peu dur.
- Marito (10/5): - The staff replying to my messages was very friendly and helpful thank you. The location was perfect and the accomodation was very comfortable as well. Thank you
- Mccoll (10/5): Exceptional. Great service. Lovely accommodation. Handy location. - It was so nice to meet the manager in person when we arrived. She was such a lovely lady. She even made contact before we arrived. The staff were so helpful. Even to the point of taking us to our apartment and helping us with our luggage. Really impressed.
- karen (8/5): Great location, attentive staff. - We appreciated the size and location of the apartment. Having the property across from the mall allows for many food choices, especially when you are new to Auckland and getting your bearings. The drive into the city was not that time consuming. Wati, the property manager was very responsive and attentive to our needs. From the picture, it seems like the pool is across the street. The property is much larger than I thought, so it was not across the street. It also was cool, so the unheated pool wasn't really usable.
The bed in our unit is very hard. Some people like that. Just putting this note in here for information.
- hoffmann (8/5): -
- Jack (8/5): Perfect - Awesome place 6/32 has a faulty tap that dripped all night
- Staci (9/5): -
- Mary (10/5): Excellent unit great facilities - Lovely unit great facilities will definitely be back
- Briohny (10/5): - Close to shops and kids loved the pool, tennis courts and playground.
- Natasha (5/5): - The location The facilities- Our children got cuts and scratches from the pool
The heat upstairs was unbearable- I suggest split system upstairs
The washing machine was good, but the dryer was working
There wasnt much in the kitchen to utilize
- Linda (4/5): Two units were good just one was uncomfortable - The bed had a bar across one side was hard and very uncomfortable
Sofa in that unit was very uncomfortable as well
- Perive (8/5): Love the place and location and prefer the ground floor. - Very spacious. Close to shops. Wifi is not even working. Too much stairs going up the top floor.
- Line (9/5): -
- Lasse (9/5): Great comfortable stay with good facilities - We truely enjoyed our stay. Nice big apartments. We had ground floor unit with AC that kept all rooms pleasant. Very good communication. Nice to also have covered parking just outside the unit. The neighbourhood was very quiet and felt safe. Great to be so close to Botany town centre.
- Luus (10/5): -
- Meng Ai (9/5): Good value and clean big apartment with full kitchen but bedrooms a bit warm in summertime - Location out of town but nearby Botany Central shopping centre. Residential area.
Nice big 2 bedroom apartment. Full kitchen was great for cooking meals for the family. Washing, dryer and dishwasher. Comfortable beds.
Breezy large balcony. Air-conditioner at the lower level.
Toilet and shower upstairs and toilet downstairs.
Private parking for 2 cars.
Communication was good except during the public holiday where had some delay in replies. As mentioned in some of the other reviews, no aircon upstairs with limited opening of windows so rather warm in summer. One fan was provided but there are 2 bedrooms. Would be good either to be able to open the windows more widely or have airconditioner in the upstairs rooms.
- Olena (8/5): -
- Craig (10/5): Location, Location, Location - It was central to where we needed to go and the Botany Town Centre was right across the road from us. The apartment was perfect for us and being able to cook our own food was like being at home. It felt like a home away from home. I would highly recommend this accommodation.
- Qingyu (3/5): Unfortunately, our stay was very disappointing. Shortly after arrival, we encountered serious maintenance issues, includ - Location is convenient. The toilet cistern refilled extremely slowly and was almost unusable.
The fan provided did not work during hot summer weather.
There were also safety concerns due to the key-based entry system and lack of additional door locks.
When these issues were reported, the property was unable to provide timely or effective solutions.
- Paisley Garcia (5/5): It's ok, could be better - The location The moldy smell throught out apartment and the washing machine and in the air conditioner had mold through it. Very hot in the upstairs bedrooms.
- Elliot (8/5): Great location, clean rooms. - All the units are apartments used as motel rooms. Great location near the Botany mall. Washer / dryer and dishwasher in the room. Quiet neighborhood that shared with residential apartments. Plenty of food options within walking distance. The interiors need a bit of a makeover. No air conditioning in the upstairs bedrooms.
