Highly recommend, we were up for a wedding and the venue was only a 3 minute drive down the road. Shopping mall, supermarkets, cafe and restaurants were all very close. Place was tidy and spacious, we enjoyed the balcony. Entry to get in the house was a littlr confusing but that could have been because of the 8 hour trip up from Wellington, definitely easier second time round. Peter also let us check in about a hour earlier as we had arrived then was was awesome.
