The studio smelt musty and seemed not to have been cleaned properly (there was a dust covered sock under the bed and the freezer box was completely clogged with "snow"). The linen was not "beautiful" as described - in fact the towels were a bit tatty and smelled musty too. There was no wifi. Only a single nespresso pod. On a couple of nights there were rats scurrying in the ceiling above. So all in all, not worth over $300 per night which was the cost after cleaning fees and agency costs (locals told us there is an extra charge for using Absolute Gisborne). On the positive, the location was good and service, friendly. However we wouldn't recommend.
