We booked the Sahara as it was a 15min walk to Forsyth Barr stadium. Location, parking and price were the main considerations for our family of 4. Got the feeling Jacinda might have a few of her professional beneficiaries living there?? But thats just an assumption. Otherwise it was clean and served our purpose to see the highlanders

It was close to a conference I was attending. And inexpensive. Itโ€™s old and rundown. I sat on the floor of my room and as my hand slid across the carpet, two hairs stuck to itโ€”a short dark one and a long blonde one. Upon closer inspection, the carpet really needed a good vacuuming.

2 night stay in Wellington

We had room 7 in the main house. It could be a great room but needs a complete refurbishment. The bed was so soft you just rolled into the middle, so not the best nights sleep. The weather was good so did not have to stop in the room. There was a main lounge with a kitchen where you could make a cup of tea or coffee. We didn't pay a lot of money for the room but it was one of the worse we had stayed in over the 4 weeks we were travelling.
