MMumtaz MerdjWell ..Firstly..AS SOON AS I GOT INTO THE APARTMENT...IT WAS LIKE...””IM INSIDE AN OVEN ”..OR IN A 😓 desert !!
I went all around the apartment looking for aircon....but...
Trust me....NONE...
SO I am actually going through menopause...and I WAS VERY 😡 upset ..I knew this very moment....””I WONT SLEEP IN THIS HEAT TONIGHT ..hot flush n then the apartment was really really 🔥 HOT...THE temp yesterday was as high as 30°c...I have pictures as evidence ..on the Facebook community page about the temp last night or yesterday..
I KEPT ON Taking short cold showers in order to get ”:some'””
Sleep..
But yes ..It was a long frustrating night for me..
Secondly..at 11.00pm..to 1135pm.WE HAD NO WIFI...
I HAD TO EMAIL .TRIP.COM..
SO AFTER 25MINS ...THE WIFI WAS TURNED BACK ON...
THIRDLY...fleas in ALL BEDDINGS...
WE TOOK OFF THE BEDDNGS ..N SLEPT ON THE FLOOR..
Because on the bed..the fleas were biting n I brought sheets from home .. which I always do whenever I go to any hotel ..
N used it to spread it ontop just to lay down on it...
Well apart from all these ..everything else was fine ...
But yes ..I would NEVER BOOK ACCOMODATION without aircon ...I cannot imagine ..how is it possible 🤔 esp in an area such as taranaki ...with so much heat ...n NO AIRCON...WELL THATS ALL ..
U can see the photos...it's telling u..the temperature.
I'm.. NOT the only one ..who felt the heat ...
It's NOT JUST ABOUT MY MENOPAUSE...
THE TEMP DURING SUMMER IS UNTOLERABLE for EVERYONE!@
AAnonymous UserRoom rates are reasonable. Location is quite central so everything is within walking distance . The place is well maintained with free parking on site. Room was super clean and neat. Was happy to find the kitchenette well equipped too. The site manager was also very friendly and helpful. We would highly recommend this place, it’s worth the penny if you are looking for a comfortable accommodation on a budget!🤗
GGuest UserThe room was older but very clean, the wall was cracked, the carpet stained and the toilet not bolted to the floor. None of things made the stay any less funtional and the service standard and facilities were excellent. It was excellent for our family and we would stay again.
GGuest UserAriki Backpacker is in a great location, close to the museum, the coastal walkway, and a large market within walking distance.
The staff were very friendly, and it was nice to be able to do laundry at a low price and rent a bike at a very good price.
It was a guesthouse with great facilities overall, such as a small movie theater-like room, a restaurant, and a bathroom.
The cleanliness was also good.. I will definitely use it again next time.
I highly recommend this accommodation..
KKeely LaingI really liked the location, and the room in its self. But it had no milk or snack Bar. Plus all the shower, body wash, hand wash etc were all shared. I find that super weird as you have no idea what last guest has done with that lotion etc.
CCullingVery comfortable unit. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook a meal. Close to restaurants, supermarkets and fast food outlets. Although on a busy road the unit was very quiet and private. Staff were friendly and helpful. Enjoyed our stay.
思思When we arrived, it was close to 10 o'clock in the evening, so I was really afraid that there would be problems in the stay - but in fact there is a British lady waiting for us! When we arrived, we received us very kindly, and we warmly told us where we can eat at night. The next morning we saw the proprietress, the Chinese lady, and the kindness is not to be said. The rooms are spacious, comfortable and clean, and the equipment is very complete! If you come later, I will still choose to stay here!
AAnonymous UserThe owner, Brett, was very welcoming. The car and backpacker hostel facilities were old, but still quite clean. The kitchen, bathroom, and living room were spotless, and the garden and lawn were beautifully manicured. It had an old-fashioned English style. Photos are attached for your reference.
GGuest UserIt was okay not much milk, little space and heating was not working properly. Place was a bit dusty, very small and tight parking space. Thin walls can hear people next door.
