Jun 11, 2026I had a wonderful stay here and would happily come back. The building has a lot of character and charm, which made the experience even more special. My room was clean, comfortable, cosy, and very well equipped. The view was also lovely and a real bonus.
The only thing to keep in mind is that the street leading to the property is very steep.
Thank you for a great stay! I highly recommend this place.

Aug 14, 2026Great Stay, but Warning: Extremely Steep Driveway!
Located in the city center, this hotel offers comfortable, convenient facilities—but getting there is a challenge! Despite its central location, it sits on an exceptionally steep hillside. My car struggled with the incline, and maneuvering the sharp turn was intimidating.
When I accidentally blocked a local driver's spot, she kindly took my keys and expertly parked my car for me. Seeing this, a hotel staff member generously offered her own personal spot on a much gentler slope so I wouldn't have to face the steep descent when leaving.
Had I known how steep the access road was, my limited confidence driving on inclines would have kept me from booking. However, the comfortable stay and the incredible kindness of both the passerby and the staff member completely saved the experience!

Jan 3, 2026Large single room. Very comfy bed. Lovely sunny lounge with view over central city. Self help kitchen with basic food and drinks supplied was great. Practical and enjoyable. Will book again

Feb 12, 2026Easy check in and good to be able to reserve a carpark in advance to avoid walking up a steep drive.
Bedroom was on second floor with 2 showers, laundry and 2 toilets available to use with a kitchen and lounge downstairs.
It was good to have mini kitchen facilities in the room with a fridge.
Bed was comfortable and it was quiet.

Nov 28, 2025I am a Chinese tour guide living in New Zealand, and I can say that this is the cleanest and most thoughtful hotel I have ever stayed in, especially the cleanliness and tidiness of the bedding, which touches me, and the apples prepared by the kitchen for everyone, which is so thoughtful. Highly recommend staying at 123.

Mar 8, 2026I was very impressed overall with this property inside and out. The staff got 3 stars as I never saw them, they are elusive! Tongue in cheek comment! It was close to my event venue and I liked that they cater for singles in an extremely comfortable environment with exceptional facilities. Some rooms had ensuites, some had just kitchen facilities and some (mine) had kitchen and a sink facility. Every thing was well explained. There is no one on site as such and if you need to contact them you ring a cell #. There were rooms downstairs and upstairs & my only concern about the upstairs was that there does not seem to be any fire escape ie. no way of getting out of the building if someone was trapped by fire in the upstairs rooms. I hope the the owners will respond to my concern by way of reply please as I would have thought that this was a legal requirement by the fire department.
