The location of this apartment cannot be faulted, its at the heart of the city entertainment strip with buzzing bas and restaurants and was fabulous to watch to firework display on NYE.
The apartment block on the wharf is old and outdated, same with the apartment which is spacious but needs a facelift and modern refurbishment. However, sheets were clean and bed comfortable and kitchen facilities good.
The accommodation lacks those little welcoming extras such as a welcome basket on arrival or kind thoughts and considerations you usually expect when booking airbnb accomodation (compared to other penthouse/executive apartments we stayed in during our trip to NZ) .
The area is currently under construction and very busy. We had a rental car but nowhere to park it (we were offered a neighbouring car space for $30 per day but managed to find a deal in city multi-storey to park 3 days for $60 where you can come and go as and when using a pin code.
On then whole we enjoyed stating at this accommodation for a short term break.
