I booked here by mistake, intending to book at the Takapuna International Motor Lodge which has a rating over 8. Instead I booked this much lower rated accommodation and, well, you get what you pay for. Staff did their best. Very nice staff. But the accommodation was underwhelming.

Liked: Amenities
Place was ok but dated, needed a more thorough clean (marks on walls etc) and desperately needs double glazing. The windows are so thin and the joinery hard to open/close and as it's on a main road it's very loud. I imagine winters would be freezing! Could do with a smart TV as well to stream our own platforms. Otherwise, we had what we needed for a reasonable price.
