Loved by guests
"We rented the two bedroom apartment on the first floor for 160nz$ per night which is great price for the big rooms."
"The room is good sized for 2 people, clean and maintained well."
"It would be ideal for someone willing to stay longer than a night or two, as the room had a full stove and microwave, with kitchenware to match."
