Forrest Hotel and Apartments
Being situated so close to the centre and within walking distance of Manuka means this is a great place to stay. Rooms are adequate and the area is excellent. They don't have an on-site restaurant so you'll need to walk 10 minutes to the myriad of eateries in Manuka. I'll stay here again.
