Harbour View Lodge
My room was clean. The Tv didn’t work, the fridge was a small makeup fridge not a bar fridge and the shower drain was blocked so flooded not just my bathroom but also my room and the hallway

U Studios Paraparaumu, SureStay Collection by BW
The staff had everything in order for a late arrival. Very smooth. My only negative would be there were no instructions on how to turn on the spa bath. I will say even without the bubbles it felt wonderful after a long travel day!
