Right on the bay. Beautiful room on 4th floor. Needed to carry bags up flight of stairs. Very nice inside. Could not figure out how to work TV. No instructions. The carnival was going on at the time so was very festive, but quiet a night. Enjoyed our stay here.

not very soundproof units/(could hear neighbouring units flushing toilets.) be aware the property requests you use a credit card to pay and then charge additional fees for using a credit card. be aware prices quoted on Expedia are not in local NZD they are in USD but they don't disclose that until you go to pay
