The room type you had booked did not have a Kitchen if you had chosen the Kitchen Studios there would have been a separate Kitchen with the sink and cooking equipment more to your liking.

e room
Friendly owners. Nice clean room. Great service. Unfortunately the internet was terrible and there were no coverings on the bathroom windows. This meant that the spotlights on the buildings behind shone into the unit. We had to keep our bathroom door shut to block out the bright lights. The was no air conditioning in the room so the room was very hot at night.

Response from K on 26 Jan 2020
Sorry to hear the internet wasn't working well for you, we always encourage guests to let us know this while staying here. As for air conditioning you could have requested a room with this. We also provide fans with the notice visible in the office. Security lights are part of standard equipment for guests security.

Only recommendation would be to upgrade the sheets to cotton for comfort. The polyester sheets were very scratchy feeling so the second night we slept on top of bed cover. Apart from that the unit had everything we needed. Extremely clean and well presented. Thank you

Thank you for your feed back, but all of our sheets are cotton which are from a supplier. There are so many different grades of cotton today.

No human contact even though we called the day before and told we could drop a bag before checkin. Which we said we would be there at 11:30am no one was there the sign said open 8 til 8. Then when our card was incorrect they rang and told us they were going to give our room away. We gave them a new number over the phone. Then they left the room open for us. No human contact

Hi Ross ,we are sorry to receive your review of this nature .However we did wait for some time for you to arrive early as you had mentioned. We as Hoteliers have the right to take payment 48hrs prior to your arrival ,as we discussed over the phone you had no idea what time you would be coming back,so we did what we could for you and took the opportunity and said we would set your room up prior to your arrival . Office hours are from 8am until 8pm that is correct ,and you did call us , however the standard checkin time is still 2pm ,but we did try to accommodate you the best we could by leaving your room unlocked as you were not sure what time you may be back. We were open when your arrived which you would have noted the office light was on so hence you were more than welcome to pop in if needed. We are also had to go out between cleans and re-opening time which as Hotieliers we take that opportunity when we can.

When we first got in there they were very welcoming. Once we had left, they had charged us a $20 fee for not doing our dishes. When I rang and asked what the charge was for, she carried on to say that there was a sign in a cupboard stating the fee about the dishes. I told her, that we didn’t come across that sign, and that I would have the dishes if I had seen it. Please put the sign in a place where people can see it, like in the bathroom, next to the bucket you wash the dishes. The lady became very rude when I had approached her, so I won’t be staying back there again. Bad experience, watch how you talk and treat your customers. Nelson was a nice place, but it was spoilt by a lady who does not know how to treat and talk to customers, and no apology was given! Very rude!

The sign is not in the cupboard as you stated, I clearly said it was right above the bench where you plug the jug in. You acknowledged that there must have been a sign as you stated you didn't see a $20 fee, which it doesn't say, it clearly states we can charge a cleaning fee if left in an unacceptable condition. You clearly knew there was provisions for cleaning the dishes as you stacked them ALL in the bowl where the dish cloth, tea towel and dish washing liquid was. The fee charged to you was the minimum for the extra time taken to clean your room.
