Lovely studio with all the main necessities needed for a pleasant stay. The cooking facilities helped a lot and the bathroom was large and comfortable. Shower pressure was strong and the view was fantastic of the Remarkables.
Hubby and I didn't hire a call till our last day but it didn't matter cos the studio is very close to the bus stop which offers $1 rides into town - a real money saver.
We asked to drop our bags early which Yanisa agreed to as our flights came in early. We also asked to check in early which she also agreed to albeit hesitantly around 1pm. We waited to be told when we could check in early so this made things a little hard to know how far or for how long we needed to kill time. Worked out in the end and we understood she has two kids so possibly wasn't as easy to accommodate.
An umbrella would've been helpful as one night when we had to bus out to pick up our car, it was nearly 0 degrees and we could've done with one. Dress warm even in mid Sept guys !
Noise through the walls was probably our only let down. Though not extremely bad, it was evident and it became a bit of a laugh between hubby and I with how close it sounded. Also, the house at the back requires people to walk past your side ranch door so be mindful of that.
Milk and water would've also been helpful esp for us who needed to bus to the closest supermarket to get basics like this that we thought would be supplied.
Overall though, a beautiful scenic spot, close to public transport, clean and all you need for a pleasant stay.
Kia ora Yanisa 👍
