Our family group of 7 stayed here for New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. We had plenty of space and privacy, and the great room (lounge/dining area/kitchen) was big enough for us to gather for meals and games or just to hang out. The kitchen was well equipped and well stocked. We were happy to use the washer/dryer after a couple of days on the Able Tasman Track. I agree with all of the previous reviews - the location is good, but a little quirky with the interior lift or stairs to reach the courtyard that the apartment is in. Close to restaurants, shops and the waterfront. (We did not have a car, so I can't comment on the parking, and since it was the holiday I can't comment on the level of business day traffic noise, etc.) Great value for the price! Not a good choice for those with mobility issues or small children who can't manage stairs. Otherwise, highly recommended. Bronwin's friend met us promptly as scheduled to provide the access cards and keys, and to explain the access system and lift and show us the features of the flat.
