Staff and shuttle service experience was great. This is a good option for a night staying over in transit. Wouldn’t recommend it for anything more.
Leonie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Reasonably closr to chch airport. Just one night in a studio unit, which was clean and ready but showing signs of wear and tear. Bed was comfortable. Could do with a better shower head for a more effective water flow.
Brian, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had the family room to accommodate my wife and me, plus our 3 adult children and we fitted in well for one night.
David, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Clean and quiet place with excellent wi-fi access, plus point is there is Netflix and Disney . Not so prominent, May miss driving past and got to do a big turn back
Ssu Hui, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Wonderful

We stayed here for two days, and it was very comfortable and satisfying. Kids loved watching Netflix for free. The dryer cost $4 but the washer was free to use detergent. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was enough for a family of four, and it was great to end the day comfortably and quietly.

10/10 Exceptional

So easy to self check in. Close to airport. Nice tidy and warm unit. Quite during night . Fish and chips, Uber eats can deliver to door. McDonald's walking distance. Friendly staff. Definitely come back.
Fengjun, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

We are regulars at this location and we can’t fault the service and the ease with these fabulous owners. Unfortunately in our unit this time the bathroom sink did not drain easily and the hot water ran out after one shower. I can think there was a fault this time around as we’ve never had these issues in the past. Normally a fantastic stay here.
