This is one of the better places I've stayed in. It's like an apartment: a well-appointed kitchen and living area with a comfy couch and a table that can double as a desk for working, a good-sized bedroom and a clean bathroom.
The kitchen was functional for producing basic meals - a microwave and various utensils were supplied. Breakfast was supplied for two of the three mornings I was there.
It's set in a quiet, rural area, so zero problems with traffic noise.
There's a friendly dog on the premises.
Maria met me on check-in and made everything very smooth. This will be my go-to place in Palmerston North in the future.
