Very welcoming, the complimentary Lindauer Brut and Lindt chocolate were a nice touch. I really appreciated that the apartment was pet friendly and that wifi was available. The waterfront location was our favourite part, especially because it was within walking distance to TeamNZ and a dog park. There was no allocated parking with the apartment and although we were lucky to find a nearby space, I found the public parking is a premium price. The bbq and its tools need some extra care, so we used the cooktop and the oven mostly. Although the city air was not like the country air, it was nice to have the seabreeze and not the aircon during the Autumn nights. The laundry was great to wash & dry the towels daily. The bed was nice and firm, the pillows were perfect and the linen was lovely.
