• Ronnie Ibrahim (10/5): - Valuable
• may (6/5): - goed doorreis hotel, niet om 3 nachten te blijven
• Clive (7/5): It was perfectly fine for the needs of three adults. - The apartment was large, but a little dated, which wasn’t a problem. Nothing to report and the town was about a 10 minute walk away. We did inform the host that one of the power sockets wasn’t working in the kitchen and the hot water tap in the bathroom was just a trickle. Apart from that, everything else was fine.
• John (8/5): -
• Ben (9/5): Awesome - Clean. Comfy beds close to town good parking. Shower height was awesome. Very minor complaint pressure but will 100 % stay again regardless
• Andrew (8/5): -
• SANDRA (7/5): -
• Robert (9/5): I be back next year! - Bed very comfortable with lovely softy clean sheet. Towels, kitchen ware all available with everything you needed. Sky TV AWESOME! Bathroom was very clean but a little tired looking.

• sunnybub (6/5): lovely air-conditioned room - great location to drive back to whangarei bed too hard, parking outside room not ideal for larger 4x4 vehicles if outdoor plants hang over into parking space- causing vehicle paintwork scratches. noted other larger vehicle also parked away from plants too..
• Raiha (10/5): Great Stay - The staff are very friendly and accommodating. The room was well presented, clean, comfortable, and very spacious. The location was perfect - close to the town centre and not far from our event. Highly recommended. The kitchen cupboards could do with a fresh paint job, but other than that, there was nothing we didn't like.
• Christine (9/5): Staff were very helpful, rooms clean and comfortable with everything we required. We would return. - Excellent hosts. Rooms clean and comfortable. Kitchen facilities were very good. Nothing.

• Karen (7/5): Liked it fir the ease of getting there and the facilities were clean - Easy access Less road noise would have been good
• Rudy (9/5): Exotic Spanish charm - Very clean space, the entire place gives a Spanish style charm with the small lap pool thats wrapped around by the main building. Room size also big with a big king bed. Pool area nice an private with a liat of exotic plants, palm trees multiple varieties, the entire place has a good feeling Its not disliking its more of lets make it better, I would continue the Spanish style also inside the rooms with a few small upgrades, same around the pool area the plastic chairs have seen better days, the dinning table foot also needs a repaint job,
