This was one of my worst stays in New Zealand.
Never book here. The staff were very nosy trying to find about you and who are you travelling with.
The rooms were not filled with supplies. There was no toilet paper, and shampoos.
They had labelled branded handwashing soap on the dispenser but used a cheapest branded.

But this place is run down, ripped curtains full ashtrays outside every room
The grounds are not maintained
The worse thing was the staff Spitting

Booked 2 rooms, arrived very early and was able to check in which was great, lovely service, front room by road very noisy could do with double glazing second room further down complex was good, lovely weather 28* being out all day and not being able to leave air con on was like walking into an oven at 8 pm , as they have glued key rings so you can't leave the plastic piece plugged in, small air con unit took a couple hours on max to cool down, close to bars and restaurants just 500meters away, all and all good.

Okay for a couple of nights.

A large spacious unit with walk in shower. Excellent shower. Good pressure and plenty of hot water.

Bathroom although clean looks like it could do with an upgrade.

Pillows were rather flat and I ended up using a spare blanket under mine to get some elevation for sleeping.

We had a lovely room, set out nicely.
On arrival, we were shown to our room, by the pleasant receptionist, and the television set up, internet and power were all explained.

I could not fault the room or staff friendliness, the only let down was as we were packing the car to leave, a strong odour of cigarette smoke lingered outside the staffroom? The smoke smell also entered our room.
Otherwise everything was great and we would go back.
