The studio was fantastic with the lovely view. Large windows and a patio door leading to a balcony. The design was well thought out. One of the best accommodation I had stayed in. Very peaceful and quiet but it was a Thursday night and in August. Wish we could stay longer but we had to fly back to UK.

Average
We were looking forward to the say but felt a little let down for $200 plus. The unit was OK - a little tired and in need of a refresh - numerous wall gouges etc. A few teas and a plunger but no beans - does anyone drink instant in 2024? We don't usually complain but this is just a bit of a poor look for tourists to an iconic tourist spot in New Zealand. You can do better as regular travellers we kind of expect better.

Found the property very dated. we had a pleasant stay but no fan or heating in bathroom and on a very cold morning not inviting at all. Overall the property could do with a good clean and tidy.
