Ww stayed here for 3 nights from 3rd-6th January, 2012. Our apartment was in Shed 23 located on the ground floor, Apartment 7. The apartment was very clean, spacious, well equiped and comfortable with lovely water views except for the dredge boat parked in front.
The only complaint that we had of this apartment was the noise from the below restaurants, the very loud venue music being played from somewhere to the left of the Shed that went on to 4 am in the morning on both Friday and Saturday nights. Even with all the doors and windows shut which then made the apartment stuffy, we still could here the music so we didn't get much sleep on either of those nights. Doesn't NZ have noise restrictions when residential places are near by? Also when the cruise ships are docked they divert all the traffic to drive directly in front of the apartment along the wharf which also adds to further noise during the early morning.
Also the 2 level carpark above also caused our apartment to shake at times, at first we thought it was an earth tremor. You could also hear people walking and talking directly above the bedroom.
The studio style bedroom although comfortable was not completely private from the living room so if anyone wanted to stay up and watch TV the noise and light from the TV could still be seen and heard through the frosted sliding glass door dividers which were the same for the bathroom as well, so you wouldn't want another friend or children staying with you.
Having said all that the managers and staff were very profession, helpful and friendly. We would definitley stay here again because of the location but not in that apartment or in any other on the ground floor. I think we would stay in Shed 24 on the 4th floor. We did however get a very good rate from 'last minute.com' so all was not lost.
