Reviewed Dec 9, 2025Great place in Papakura. Very comfortable, quiet & stylish. Close to the motorway & a short drive to Papakura. Will definitely stay again.
The only small complaint was that the smell was over-powering. It wasn't a bad smell. It was a good smell. It was just a little over-powering.

Reviewed Nov 20, 2025Retro on Queen was an amazing place to stay! The way it’s designed and executed blew us away, the layout was a great use of space. My husband was so impressed, every time we came back he’d have something new to appreciate. The location was great for us “out-of-towners”, close enough that it was a short drive to town but away from the hustle and bustle, which was perfect for being able to relax when coming back. Welcoming, safe, clean and cozy, we are very thankful we stayed here. Highly recommend, we have raved about staying here to our family and friends :) thank you so much for having us.

Reviewed Oct 27, 2025The studio was perfect, with a great functional layout. The bed was very comfortable and had plenty of real pillows. The location was very handy with plenty of shops, cafes, and take aways nearby. It was quiet at night. The hosts were very accommodating.

Reviewed Jan 24, 2025Lovely big airy space. Very clean and had everything we needed. The bed was very comfy and the selection of three pillows was appreciated. Having Velux roof windows was great to let in some fresh cool air but no bugs, as they have fly screens ( we prefer fresh air to Aircon ).
Nothing to dislike.

Reviewed Dec 3, 2023I liked the whole set-up. It was spacious, very clean and had everything we needed.
Because I'd had surgery and needed to be close to the bathroom, the fold-out couch was a little uncomfortable, but that was really the only problem I came across. It would have definitely been fine for my son but he doesn't have bathroom issues lol...

Reviewed Oct 23, 2023We liked everything! The owners truly thought of everything for this accommodation. I am convinced they must have travelled themselves to know exactly what a guest would like and not like. Exceptional attention to detail. Communication was quick and friendly; the place was amazing (bigger than the photos portrayed); the security top notch, bathroom beautiful and great size; everything needed for our stay was there, plus extra!; super clean; tastefully decorated; nice retro decor; kitchen had all we needed to cook and eat; bed was comfy, sofa bed did the job when other family stayed as well; car parking easy and plenty of choice; location good for our purpose; price was just right (first time I have come across a reduction for 3rd person staying - very generous); lighting was good for atmosphere with the dimmers; skylights were a bonus; plenty of loo roll; nice size towels and great to have a heated towel rail. We met the owner when we arrived - she was super friendly and accommodating - perfect stay! Thank you!

Reviewed Jul 16, 2023The decor in the place was deliberate and aesthetically pleasing without being over cluttered. The space had been renovated to a high standard and you can tell the owners didn’t take any shortcuts. The room had everything we needed and the host was quick to respond when we couldn’t find an iron. Absolutely loved our stay here and it was perfect for us.
Very minor but it would have been nice to have another mug as there was three adults and only two mugs
