    Lovely little place , the only downside was the bedroom didn’t have a window and it was so hot, there was a fan, but did nothing, it really needs an aircon unit, other than that it was fantastic, loved the big screen

The apartment is located in the suburb of Waipahihi, and is only a short stroll to the Waipahihi Botanical gardens, a 10 minute walk to the lake edge and a similar distance to the popular Debretts Hot Pools.
