Loved this place! We had an apartment with a gas fireplace, jacuzzi tub and washer/dryer. Spacious and comfortable. Well stocked kitchen and full refrigerator. Loved the outdoor patio to enjoy snacks and a glass of wine. Would stay here again. One of the top 5 of our 4 week NZ stay.

Expedia needs to distinguish between amenities for apartment and studios. If you rent the studio there is no cooking capabilities available, not even a hot plate! This has been the first location on our travels north to South islands with a “kitchenette” without a stove. The tv is small too.

Everything was wonderful. The studio 6 was clean and cozy, which we really liked. I will definitely come back next time. Also, the host was very kind. I am sorry and grateful for understanding my small mistakes. I hope your business thrives and I look forward to seeing you again.

Nice modern rooms. We booked a studio and it lacked a bit of functionality. There were a few things that weren't available for anyone in a studio e.g. no sink to wash dishes, and no access to barbecues, even to hire one. Also, nowhere on the website does it say that a studio room is joined to an apartment (although there are 2 doors in between). Everyone's view of luxury is different, however, if you are looking for luxury then you should probably book an apartment.
