Brand New Opposite Hagley Park Close CBD Hospital

My husband and I enjoyed staying in the apartment. It was warm, comfortable and equipped with all the expected requirements in the kitchenette. Being able to walk out for different dinner options was a bonus. There are, however, a few things I would like to suggest. * The apartment is advertised as being `brand new'. Whilst the building may be only months old, the apartment shows signs of wear and tear that make you think it is `not brand new'. This is evident in the damamged bench, the tatty blind of the entrance door and the marked/chipped paint around the apartment. * There was chipped crockery and glassware for use by guests, in the crockery cupboard. The kitchen could have been cleaner as well. * When you sit in the apartment on the lounge suite, all the traffic on the opposite side of the 4 lane intersection can see into the apartment and see guests sitting on the lounge. The entrace doorway has the blind on it to give privacy but at times I wanted to have that blind up to see the daylight etc. Perhaps something could be put on the glass in the door to increase privacy when the blind is up. * The apartment is on the corner of a significantly large intersection with heavy traffic at the start and end of the working day. After the traffic from people going home from work, there is several hours of `boy racer' cars reving at the lights, skidding off at high speed and then the siren on Police cars following them. This was not a one-off. * The lack of a desi??

All very well laid out and great location but very noisy when trying to sleep and due to no aircon upstairs it got hot. Street noise makes it impossible to have the doors and windows open for breeze.

Apartment was great for a couple for our 11 night stay. Had everything we needed. Clean, new, well heated/cooled, super comfortable bed and plenty of entertainment options on the TV. Full kitchen with washer/dryer, though could have done with some baking/microwave dishes etc. Lovely park view and convenient location - on a busy intersection, but wasn't a problem noise wise for us - just a bit loud on Fri/Sat nights. No parking onsite, but free street parking a few hundred metres away was always easy to find. Great value compared to other accommodation options. We would definitely stay again.

The town house is in a great location and feels quite spacious for a one bedroom. The amenities are new and in good condition. Location close to Hagley Park and Riccarton Mall is handy.It was disappointing and misleading that the ad states onsite parking available (this was on the ad at time of booking, check in and at the time of this review being posted) and the main reason for me booking this over another option. When I arrived onsite I messaged the property manager to ask which townhouse I had booked, as it was unclear in the welcome message received and there is at least 10 potential townhouses it could have been, I also asked about the onsite parking as I didn't want to park in the wrong spot and upset neighbours. I was abruptly told 'we have never had parking onsite' and that it is street parking Darvel Street that is the closest.

This was a brief stay after a week of work and travel. It was a great spot to take a break in and around town. As identified in the information it is a bit noisy from traffic, but we expected that. Overall a great spot - we love Hadlee park.
