Te Puni Accommodation

The staff at reception were really nice, and the city and ocean view from a room facing that side was amazing. It's close to town, though up a steep hill; there's a set of stairs near the top that makes the climb manageable. The free breakfast was nothing special, but it was included. My room had no kitchen, and the shared room only had a kettle and microwave, so there wasn't much chance to cook. My towel wasn't changed during my four-night stay, even though the information said towels would be changed every three days. There was no air conditioning either, and even at 25 degrees the room got really hot. I imagine it would be much worse in a heatwave. The shared room with the sofa and microwave was a mess of dirty plates and cups. Guests should clean up after themselves, but there was no dish soap or scrubber, and the dishes stayed there for three days. Someone needed to wash them eventually, since it was gross and could start to smell, especially in summer. Without the nice view, I would've been really frustrated. Te Puni Village doesn't offer much else for a price that isn't cheap.
