Our unit was super clean, modern and the beds were comfortable. We liked the option of being able to take our dog, we decided not to this time though. Was thoughtful to have some drinks, chocolates, milk and biscuits ready for our arrival as well as some fresh eggs in the fridge. Having the use of the free washing machine and drier was fab.

    Aporo Holiday Home was booked for work. We had a few fixers up from Christchurch to work on an install in the area. They came back into the office and commended me on the choice of accommodation. They appreciated each having their own bedroom and space. As well as plenty of room in the kitchen to cook their meals. Don't think they could have got through their week long stay without wifi and that great view though.
