Leumeah Lodge
I was asked to sign a document and return it but no pen was available. No pen with keys, no pen in the room. The tea caddy where the spoon was stored was very dusty. Everything else was great. Thanks.

One challenge was the property was lacking onsite parking. Lucky we were we had to park at the Wilson's parking during the weekend which was only $3 per day per entry.

The apartments were exceptional e.g. attention to detail quality appliances and facilities. The carpark is well lit at night ensuring vehicle safety. Comfy bed and fluffy towels, would have no hesitation in recommending these apartments, close to Manuka.
