All good, can't complain about much. They had enough off street parking for our 4 cars and a trailer. Units were warm and clean.

The space offered value for money and the room was what we needed. It was quite dated and old. The only real downside was the couch - it was very uncomfortable and there was a sign that said if we tried to pull it out (sleeper couch) we would be charged $500 which we found strange.

Owners were very nice. There is a wonderful bike trail one block away that connects to the Wamatu Gorge area. In the warmer months there are eels in the river and streams. Electric charging is about 5 blocks away and is fast.
