    Well designed room with a balcony and a lovely view of the Port, harbour and Kaiti Hill. Pool area was lovely and free coffee in the lobby a treat. Friendly, helpful staff. Great location within walking distance of town and the beach.

    Lovely apartment with everything you need. I was traveling for work, but two bedrooms is a real bonus if I was traveling with family, so I'd book again for a holiday. Very close to central city for meetings and cafes, shopping, but beach location is great switch off after a busy day. Incredible views and boardwalk within 100 metres of apartment. Great to have kitchen, lovely bathroom, everything very new and very well designed. Top class accommodation and super friendly welcoming staff. The real Gizzy experience.

    The staff are amazing and we're just lovely to deal with, the cabin had aircon and was spotless from top to bottom, plenty of everything you need and stunning views to wake too, the Internet doesn't exist on spark, and the WiFi wasn't very good inside outside it was fine, the back of the cabin outside was great. Didn't use the spa but that area, thr open kitchen and outside area all clean and well laid out. We have this on our list for a return visit.

    Can’t recommend these apartments enough. They were perfect for a family trip and so well laid out. They are really well furnished and everything is as nice as as you would find at a boutique hotel. With the convenience of the top ten attractions. They totally maximise the stunning views too. We would definitely return to stay again!
