I would highly recommend this property. I preferred it in all respects to other places we stayed in NZ. Very Convenient to Airport, very complete. Quality Coffee supplied, and beautiful flower gardens everywhere with petunias, windflowers, etc. show the attention to details of the owners.

Yes we do have a fantastic location - we are starting painting the outside of the whole building soon so I am sure that will freshen the place up. We do have a large selection of pillows you just need to come and ask ....

Always a warm welcome at Alhambra Oaks. The staff certainly aim to please. Rooms are well appointed. Bathroom was ridiculously huge. Just one or two things - double glazing would help with both retaining heat and lessening noise. Student flats on either side of motel bring typical noise and music, often late into the night. As well, there could be one or two more settings of crockery etc
Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2022
Response from Carolyn on 22 Sept 2022
Thanks for the lovely comments Pattie - yes double glazing would be amazing -could you talk to our landlord please :) - we have the appropriate crockery for the number of guest and usually that does the trick - hope to se you another time
