This is a lovely apartment that is a short walk to the heart of town. There definitely are a couple flights of stairs that you have to traverse a bunch, but they weren't a big deal at all. There were a couple of very minor repair issues that could be addressed, but nothing that had any significant impact on the quality of our stay. Was great to have a big garage and access to a washer/dryer and big TV. Recommend checking out the nearby Wairekai Thermal Pools, they are a great place to relax after you've been tramping all over.
