Comfy

Great and welcoming facilities and friendly staff. The rooms were sparse but comfortable. Good showers with good water pressure. Would be more than happy to stay again if we found ourselves back up this way.

I don't think it was the fault of the staff... But there was a small fire on the day we were there, smelled like something electrical had broken and burned. We were without power for approx 2 hours which was a little unfortunate. But the staff were professional and communicated well with guests.

Would never go back.

Not very clean and no air circulation. Smelt like mold everywhere. Definitely did not feel safe staying there while traveling on my own. Washing machines and dryers barely worked and left my clothes smelling musty.

Nice enough. Needs better storage in room 7! A fan too.

Price was very good. Open courtyard was lovely.

The noise from other cutest, smoking outside rooms was not pleasant as we needed doors/window open for airflow as no fan or AC.

IF YOU WON'T VALUE FOR YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY, STAY HERE

Super welcoming, super family friendly, everybody I saw and met were happy, obviously to begin with on arrival you're welcomed, and it got happier after that, beautiful facilities, super convenient location for EVERYTHING, SUPER VALUE FOR YOUR MONEY, you will be surprised, take a leap, not EVERYTHING that seems cheap IS

Yuck

Liked location

There was a full bin of rubbish upon arrival, sheets and blankets were dirty you could tell they just pulled the covers up an d didn’t change after the last guests 😭 fridge was fishy and had food splatters bathroom was disgusting basin was filthy was very appalling but there was no other accommodation in town so we didn’t want to risk getting booted out. They took the payment from my card even though it stated pay at property and the guy manager was very creepy

Very cheap affordable place to stay if your on holiday or simply looking a place to stay the night.

The location and price for what you pay for liked that it was secluded and located off the main road down a nice driveway tucked away.

Nothing all was perfect 🤩

A friendly, helpful welcome. John the guy who showed us our room was very helpful Great room for a family. Well equipped too.

The time of check in on booking.com incorrectly said check in 2p.m to 6pm when it should read 10p.m. Our bus was delayed and was worried we would miss our key. We had no WiFi so worried and rushed from city in an expensive taxi when we did not need to.

Based on personal experience, We dont recommend this place if you are family with young kids.

Has many windows for air circulation during summer, not too far from the mount & bayfair, approx 12-15 mins drive. Staffs are friendly, and welcoming

No allocated parking, we came back around 9.30pm on two nights, and there were no parking available, we had to park outside. We stayed at unit 3, and Bathroom was smelly when we checked in. bed linen has heaps of lints, made us very uncomfortable to sleep. extremely squeky wooden floor & Deck, even when you walk normally, it would make so much noise, as a result makes the place very noisy at night and morning and hard for us to rest.

Hugo's review.

I liked the facilities. I liked the workers found them really friendly. Rooms were very tidy and clean. Loved the warmth of the fire.

Smoking and drinking in common areas that are shared with other guests and children. Kitchen needs an overview. Maybe checklist or stocklist of items meant to be in there. There was no cups or glasses for drinks when we sat down to have dinner. Some of the other guests treated us like we weren't welcome and used the common areas as of it was their space/home and made us feel really uncomfortable and guilty for being in there. Common areas were dirty with too many personal peoples belongings in there aswel. Parking was super hard in both the ute & van we took. Far to many carparks were blocked with cones in front of them. Maybe number each car park space to the room numbers so each room has atleast a minimum of 1 space allocated each.

Convivial

L’accueil était chaleureux. Le personnel n’a pas hésité à discuter avec nous pendant le séjour. La chambre était propre et c’était bien d’avoir un lavabo et un miroir sans avoir besoin d’aller à la salle de bain. Il était aussi très agréable de pouvoir se mettre en terrasse pour le petit déjeuner et profiter du soleil dans un cadre convivial.

Mauvaise isolation phonique et règles de silence non appliquées. Il est écrit partout de ne plus faire de bruit après 10h mais on pouvait entendre les gens s’agiter derrière le mur vers 1h du matin alors que nous avions grandement besoin de sommeil…

Beautiful units with plenty of space, so grateful and thanks to the owner for letting us stay!

Didn't include breakfast - we were there for a place to stay, but the location was close enough from the hospital for us, as all but one had travelled down from the Kaikohe and Whangarei. Nice, quiet off the main road accomodation.

What's not to like? It had everything we needed for a temporary overnight stay.

Everything was perfect, I recommend this place

Hello there! Our stay with you was amazing. The room was perfect. The check-in was quick, and check-out system was pretty convenient because we left early in the morning. And I have to tell you that your towels and your bedlinen are just perfect, I really appreciate that kind of quality.

Everything was perfect. Thank you very much for your warm welcoming. ;)

Gerade so passabel

Privatzimmer sahen wirklich okay aus, Gemeinschaftsraum war sehr groß, WLAN hat gut funktioniert.

Mehrbettzimmer in einem schlechten Zustand, war nicht abschließbar und sogar nach außen offen. Gewechselte alte Bettlaken lagen den ganzen Tag noch am Boden rum.

Don't book it

Pictures in booking.com are not the reality, I know that it is a backpackers, but it can be a more clean space. Our room had a bad smeling. It wasn't clean properly, public spaces were super dirty, it says that it has for making coffee or tea but nothing was in the room, I think we pay too much for what we had
