Wainui Holidays from NZ$460

Clean and comfortable

Exactly as expected, nice, clean, quite.

It’s an older building renovated to feel comfortable. Nice bathrooms and on par for facilities vs price. We did however find a few deal breaking quirks… the heatpump outdoor unit was so loud we had to compromise between using this or sleep, I’m not talking a wee hum, this was like a bus idling outside your bedroom. Luckily there were electric blankets, however in order for the plug to reach a socket, meant shifting the bed, this would be no issue had we not found 6 large toenails and a slipper under the bed!

Convenient too the city centre. The pictures were deceiving and it was a lot more dated than we realized. The shower was only chest high which was inconvenient but fine if your short i guess. Staff were friendly.

Despite the wall heater not working the unit was warm and quiet and although dated exceeded our expectations. Criticisms, the shower tray was not level and did not drain completely, bathroom floor slippery when wet, bed was ok but a duvet would be nicer than blankets and a foam topper pad more comfortable. Fix the heater.
