Karekare Falls

Good location and price. Policy stated that on check in you would need to pay a bond of $300 unless you had a valid credit card. When I checked in I was advised that the policy had changed and I needed to pay $300 even though I had a valid credit card (the one the motel was paid for on). I emailed querying this on the first night and was ignored. $300 if a big unexpected expense for families travelling. The beds were rock hard, I actually would have been better off sleeping on the floor. Locks didn’t work and there was a faulty electrical socket in the hall outside our room, very dangerous with a 2 year old hanging around. I sent 3x emails to them and have still not had a response. Rainbows end got my bond back to me quicker than this place

The one bedroom apt is very clean & spacious. Kitchen has all necessary dinnerware, utensils, pot & pans, microwave, electric kettle and dishwasher. The washer & dryer worked well. Location is great, close to everything. Staff was friendly and helpful. The pool & gym are clean and well maintained. A lot of restaurants & shops nearby.

Excellent central location, high quality accommodation and great staff. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend
