The location is reasonably central, walkable to the town centre at a pinch, but has handy 4-Square superette and nice cafe round the corner.
The living space is very good, spotless, with well-equipped kitchen and large bathroom (with powerful shower). Checkout is 11.00am, which is very generous by NZ standards and we appreciated that extra hour. Road noise near the bed during the day was a bit of an irritation but didn't affect our sleep later. The library is a rare feature and caters to most tastes.
Thoroughly recommend this place.
