Bed was comfortable & the outdoor entertainment area
Unfortunately, our stay was disappointing and did not meet our expectations. The accommodation was advertised as an entire apartment; however, it was actually the downstairs level of the owners’ home. We could hear footsteps and movement from upstairs throughout the night, which disrupted our peace and comfort. Privacy was a significant concern. We were in Wellington for a national weightlifting competition, and on our second evening, our weightlifting team came over for dinner and a pre-competition team talk to ensure everyone was prepared and on the same page. These were visitors, not additional overnight guests. Before I had even returned to the property, the owners had approached my friend, who was staying with me, questioning how many people were coming to stay. I found this approach intrusive and uncomfortable, particularly as they had not raised their concerns directly with me as the person responsible for the booking. Following this, there was an attempt to impose additional charges for two people, including an extra bed-making fee, despite those individuals not staying overnight. This felt unreasonable and created unnecessary tension during what should have been a relaxed evening enjoying dinner with our team and preparing for our competition. The layout was also inconvenient. The main entrance was through a sliding door into the main bedroom, and accessing other areas of the accommodation required passing through the toilet area beside the kitchen. This offered very little privacy or practical separation between spaces. Overall, the experience lacked the privacy, comfort and independence we expected when booking an entire property. While I fully respect that accommodation owners have rules and expectations, guests should equally be afforded privacy and treated with courtesy rather than feeling monitored or questioned during their stay.

Uplifting location with large outdoor area overlooking the bush, handy to the motorway, and within reach of from essentials such as McDonalds and supermarkets. Was super helpful to have breakfast items available too - we took advantage of this. Beds were super warm and comfortable.
Nothing to dislike for us.

A very comfortable bed
When we arrived there was dirty rubbish left in the bin. Surfaces to kitchen and bathroom covered in white powder and fridge dirty. I spent half and cleaning before placing out items in. Also not as private as described. Very noisy from upstairs and outside from dogs etc. If you like cats it’s ok as cat kept coming to door and what may have been a nice outlook, wasn’t there was a ladder to look at. We left early and got a small refund
