Very comfortable 1-bedroom suite including bed, pillows and recliner seats. Ideal location for Tahunanui Beach and for driving to Nelson, Mapua and Richmond. Loved the pool. Great you don’t get automatic servicing - just opt in for any day or get any supplies from cleaning staff.

We were on a queen room. The bed was comfortable and the room a good size. It has recently been refurbished to a good standard. There is a microwave, coffee plunger and crockery but washing up all as to be done in the bathroom sink which is a bit odd.
