Easy check in. As described. Convenient location. Very tidy.
Wunderschöne Wohnung tolle lage
Lovely apartment that had everything I needed.
The bath towels were not very absorbent
Excellent apartment with top quality furnishings and in a great handy location Would certainly recommend
excellent location, right in the middle of town
Perfect location
Very Important to reserve a Carpark
The property is obviously setup for longer stays, they have top of the line appliances and some of the supplies you do not typically find in apartments. The parking is convenient and everything was spotless.

Easy to find, instructions clear. The apartment was beautiful, warm, comfortable and perfect for our stay.
Nothing - we never received access details, and there was no parking at the property that we were able to find. As my phone was flat, we weren't able to call the phone number listed, though granted that is my fault that it was flat - not the property. We ended up booking in elsewhere.
No communication about entry instructions, no parking that we were able to find. We ended up staying elsewhere
Perfectly located, and very well appointed in all respects.
The noisy street rubbish truck early Friday morning.
Fantastic location and terrific facilities, communication was amazing
Nothing
Excellent kitchen and laundry. Very clean and tidy apartment situated within the town centre.
Nothing, everything was great.
New apartment, with all the facilities you need. Right in the middle of town
Turned up and the room hadnt been cleaned. Single bed still had dirty sheets, there was an empty cake container and the towels were dripping wet hanging on the towel rail. This was really disappointing to find. As our friends apartment was perfectly clean
Spacious and modern.
Loved the location, and amenities. Easy self check in and very fast and efficient communication. Thank you for our stay.
Location fabulous. Well appointed. Clear access info. Good value
Dirty towel found in one bathroom and shower did not appear to have been freshly cleaned.
We are a family of five adults and the layout of the apartment suited us perfectly. The apartment is beautifully decorated and designed. We had a very comfortable stay here and would happily choose to stay here again.
Great apartment. Had everything g we needed and central
Was told there was a car park available and there was the first night. The second day we were there the car park had three cars parked in it and I spoke with one of the drivers and they had been told they could park all three of their cars in the two car garage ??? They also told me that they were told that they had booked the same apartment as us and had actually accessed our room !!! Had been given the incorrect info. They apologised but it still not good enough . They also moved one of their cars and were kind enough to back my car into the very small space for me.
Presented well and well appointed,great decor
The shower door in the en suite didn’t shut properly,so put water over the floor
All fittings and furnishings were new and high quality. Top class and very comfortable
Two comparatively tiny things: (1) the two red bath-towels in the master bedroom en suite were oddly small and non-absorbent - we struggled to dry ourselves, but or daughter reported that the towels for the other bathroom were fine; and (2) we suspect that in the master bedroom en suite, the bodywash/handwash dispenser is broken/non-functional, and the other one in the shower, was not broken, but almost empty when we arrived as it ran out while we were there
Everything! Such a great spot, has everything you need.
Very central location, new build, comfortable, tidy and overall a great stay. It was easy to check in and check out.
Really enjoyed the facilities. Everything is new and tidy. Great morning coffee!
Great location, close to cafes and shops. had our breakfast at one of the cafe close by. Apartment was very clean and quiet. Communication with host was easy.
Non, love everything.
Great little apartment. 2 bathrooms and laundry facilities. Central location; close to all amenities and all walkable distances to great food.
No negatives
The parking garage and elevator were nice features. The apartment was well designed and fitted out.
We couldn't turn off the air conditioner, and it continued to run even when we pushed the off button. The bathroom extractor fan also couldn't be turned off, and it ran all night.
clean, modern, well equipped apartment. Very comfortable.
An information booklet would be helpful.
Great location, tidy fun, and new. So easy
Would be nice to have the basics in the kitchen, , salt, pepper, oil , tea bags
Location. Secure parking. Beautiful apartment well stocked. Very nice appliances and cookware
Couldn't find the salt 🤣
Roomy, spacious and modern. Great locality. Having the lift was a bonus.
Fresh, clean and well located
The garage door had to be operated manually and no bins in the bathrooms
Luxuriantly appointed with high end decor. Beds and lounges were so comfortable. Shower had excellent pressure. Large bathroom and en-suite was a bonus. The apartment is very quiet and walking distance to supermarket and cafes. Having a garage with internal access to the apartment was unexpected and much appreciated. It was a shame the inclement weather meant we couldn't make use of the deck.
It was perfect!
The unit was absolutely fabulous,clean,so modern and close to everything.
Nothing. Would highly recommend the apartment to couples or family.
No instructions re how to enter property. I called and was told the info was sent. I thought the error must have been on our end. Turns out it wasn’t. Place was cold when we arrived.
Everything.

All of it!
We booked a 2 bdrm/2 bath apartment and it was excellent. The apartments are spacious but homely, well appointed, very clean. We could have comfortably stayed for longer than the 2 nights we were in Masterton for. The instructions for checking in/arriving were provided well in advance of our planned arrival time and were clear and easy to follow.
We thought we’d booked an apartment with a carpark as we had a rental car. When we arrived we found there to be 2 car spaces for the 3 apartments on site (unless there were other parks that were in a different location). Parking availability was inconsistent - we had one on night 1 but had been out for dinner on night 2 and got back about 9pm to find both spots taken. There was ample street parking but this was time limited during the day. Nearby businesses also parked their vans in the access lane way directly opposite the car park door which made getting in and out of the car park challenging when there were 2 cars parked in the apartment parking.
Very modern, clean accommodation. Location is close to cafes and other shops. We really liked the apartment and were happy that we stayed there. We didn't use the kitchen, but it looked great to cook in.
No body wash or body soap in any bathroom. There was shampoo and conditioner in the shower. It would be difficult to park your car in the garage if you didn't have a passenger to enter the premises to raise the garage door for you to drive in and vice versa - when leaving you would have to find a car park, return to the building to manually close the garage door from inside the garage, before returning to your car.
Large clean and modern apartment. Comfortable beds and everything we needed. Great location
Spotlessly clean, modern and very comfortable. Great garage parking and central location. Very well stocked apartment with all the amenities you need.
The blinds in the bedrooms didn’t keep the morning light out - curtains could help this.
Cost was cheap considering apartment is in a central location. Also lift access was awesome for me
Nothing
Location and layout of the facility- very close to main street of Masterton- had 2 parking spaces for 3 appartments.
Wow! What an amazing space. This property exceeded our expectations. The apartment was huge, bright, comfortable and tasteful. The beds with their weighted duvets were super comfy. The big smart TV was a bonus. Nice to have an espresso machine and coffee pods. The location was top notch and suited our needs perfectly. We will definitely stay here again when we visit Masterton.
Only superficial things - it would be awesome to have hot chocolate available as I'm not a coffee drinker. Also, with all the kitchen space, maybe a continental breakfast / snacks could be provided. Something to think about for the future.
Great location, central to amenities. Clean spacious apartment with quality furnishings, bed was so comfortable, having two bathrooms was a bonus. Great communication from staff. We will definitely book again if we return to the Wairarapa.
Nothing it was just what we needed.
Garage parking, accessibility, location, newness, warm, comfortable, kitchen had everything we needed and quality, the view, privacy.

Excellent facilities and rooms.

The local cafes where great off-road parking was great as I have some valuables, I could leave in the vehicle with confidents Stairs where a climb luckily the lift was a fantastic bonus. once in the Apartment it was great for me who had been travelling for 2 weeks straight Great shower Great heating/cooling Fantastic bed Easy to come and GO I will return now I know its here Thanks
At the end of a long day, it was a-bit difficult to find but well worth it once I did, road construction outside and in front of the property with large trucks very noisy but hey understand that has no reflection on the Apartment
Close town locked garage
Nothing
Everything. Arrival instructions were spot on. Apartment was excellent - clean, very comfortable, had everything we needed (and more!)
A fantastic modern apartment in central Masterton which is great for families and groups. Really spacious and super clean. Beds were comfortable. Secure parking. Great communication. Will definitely stay again - couldn’t be happier.
Nothing.
Spotless modern appartment. Great location close to CBD
It was a great apartment and in a fantastic location.
There was dirty dishes in the sink when we arrived. One had mould caked on. There was also no milk in the fridge to make a cup of tea. it was very disappointing after a long day not to be able to sit and have a cup of tea or coffee.
Excellent facilities and a great central location.
Unfortunately, the bedsheets and towels were not clean. But good to have laundry.
Just like a home. New and well furnished place.
There were hairs on the bedsheet. The shade can't block much of the morning sun.
Liked everthing
No complaints
Clean, modern, easy access, locked garage for car

Lovely apartment enough room for 6 adults. Close to shops and restaurants. It's great to be able to do fuss free washing after a few days on the road. Thank you for a lovey stay, and we loved the story behind the apartments.
