"The room was nice and tidy but a bit cold I followed instructions on the conditioner but it only pushed cold air out despite of 20 temperatures on the display Couldn't work out the heater, left it on random settings, and it was too hot. No instructions for that heater to be found! Overall - a good experience, could've been better if I arrived not so late at night and could ask for help :)"

"This was such a unique property and is in the perfect location! Just a short stroll to local shops, cafes and the water front. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay including learning about the history of the building. The hidden toy room under the stairs was a highlight for our two year old son. It had modern amenities and despite being a large open space we were able to heat the home easily. We would stay again next time we visit Petone."

"We loved the location as it was close to my husbands parents and plenty of shops and restaurants are close by. The space was great, as was having a washing machine and dryer as we were on a 3- stop holiday. We would suggest perhaps fitting darker curtains or blinds on the windows at the front of the property as the location is quite light even late in the evening. Otherwise lots of great facilities. Thank you!"
