Extremely poor service, old and broken down rooms, no A/C which made the room a sauna and we couldn’t fall asleep for hours. Shower not nice, kitchen not clean or fresh enough to cook in. Overall a bad experience.

Friendly helpful staff and super comfortable beds. However the TV kept failing which was annoying at night when we wanted to relax, and the curtain wasn’t wide enough to cover the ranch slider window. Great restaurants almost directly opposite. All in all was fine for a stopover in Kaitaia.

Good laundry facilities & bonus of a swimming pool & spa. Separate room for adults sleeping. A little outdated in apartment but functional. Would benefit from a clothes line on balcony or airer to dry swimming togs (eco friendlier).
