7.4/10 Good! (123 reviews)
Staff were nice to deal with. Rooms are basic but it was what we wanted. Bed was very nice to sleep in and there was no noise from other units. Units are well off the road so no noise there either. Having units so far from the road makes parking so much safer for your car overnight. Would stay here ...

Spacious clean room, very nice sheets and towels and a lovely comfortable bed. We were delayed until the day after we were supposed to arrive, and even then arrived after the office closed, yet everything was ready for us. Our only suggestion is to have two chairs in the room, and preferably one ...

Beautiful house and lovely family. When I saw the room however, I asked the host to consider giving me a refund or a partial refund despite their policy. I rented for 3 nights and stayed zero minutes. The problem was, that the room felt too enclosed. The room is downstairs - I don't recall the room ...

A lovely location, close to Wellington City and surrounding suburbs. A good rail and bus transportation, As a visitor to the city, a good first stop coming from the north, giving time to adjust to the busyness of a city.
