The 8-star rating is obviously from pre-Covid when Champers had a good reputation; now run down since being hired by Housing NZ for emergency housing. Absolutely awful. No basics (ie cups), dirty, items broken and damaged.

We arrived and reception not open (listed as open till9pm). Rang number on door and told it was overbooked. While waiting for the call to be returned the place looked more like a homeless youth centre with young people standinf outside sharing what ever they were smoking. Caller then checked us in at another property that was exceptional. All this was very strange as we had received a confirmation email 2 days before.
