We recently spent 12 wonderful days staying at Marina Park Apartments. The Apartments are wonderfully clean, comfortable, well maintained and equipped, as well as being close to beaches, restaurants and shops. Management and Staff were extremely friendly, helpful and courteous. The property is well managed, and although the spa pool heater had unfortunately seen its last days, management informed us...

We stayed at Marina Park Apartments for a week recently. Like another contributor to this column we had booked an apartment with waterfront views. What we received was an apartment overlooking an old shed with a rusty roof and a football field. On checking in we approached the owner with our concerns and was very rudely told there would be...

We stayed at Marina Park Apartments for 4 days recently. We have no complaints with the apartments at all, it was clean, convenient and comfortable. We had chosen Marina Park Apartments because they had two spas and a heated swimming pool. When we arrived both spas were out of order and "waiting for parts from Auckland," and the pool was... More

We recently stayed for 4 nights at the Marina Park Apartments and it was wonderful. A couple of days before we were due to go away the weather forecast was really awful so we rang the apartments and they happily moved our booking on by 2 days, no problem and no extra charge. We had booked a one bedroom apartment... More

Our apartment was quiet, and with such a tranquil view down the estuary. We ate and entertained on... More

Very clean and modern apartment, large lounge and kitchen area with balcony, good bedroom and bathroom, full laundry . Our view was across to some playing fields, and we enjoyed a short walk to view the harbour at sunset

We stayed for two nights in February 2012 paying $390NZD for a 1 bedroom apartment. We booked a south facing water view apartment. What we received was a north facing view of the town and building rubbish directly below the apartment. When my husband pointed out we had not received the room we booked, the female manager appallingly, questioned what... More

Clean modern apartments in good position on harbour side. Well-equipped and comfortable. Full laundry facilities (washer and dryer) were in the one bedroomed apartment we stayed in and full kitchen facilities included and oven and dishwasher and large fridge freezer. Small swimming pool and spa. Adequately equipped gym, on site parking with some units having undercover parking. Close to shops,... More

The apartments are very clean, very airy and spacious and ideally placed for exploring the area. The apartments are well equipped with all you need for a self-catering stay. My only gripe with the place is the internet access. You can buy 24-hour access for a reasonable price from reception but the service dropped out each evening from about 21:00... More
