Great location would highly recommend to others. Great value for money.
Pros:

Very spacious. Apartment more like a small house in terms of room. Best apartment we have experienced in New Zealand to date. Short walking distance to shops and restaurants. No need to drive our vehicle.

Cons:

The visitors manual could be improved. Took a little while to work out the TV. Light switches everywhere including switches for gas and spa bath seperate to spa bath. However minor issue when compared to quality of apartment.
