This place is terrible! Owner is rude, one of the rudest people I've ever met. Rooms are dusty, smelly, dirty sheets and not at all what you would picture from the outside. I asked for a refund and it was like getting blood out of a stone.

I have stayed at this accommodation of over 7 years on and off. The previous owners ran it down, the current owners are trying to get the place up to standard and are building and renovating. For a little while now this Accommodation has been under renovation and still is. I have stayed over and over at this Lodge because... More

This would be the worst accommodation in existence. Picture looks great with the write up promoting edwardian character. Didn't know edwardian character came with filth, dirty smells and questionable as to whether laundering of bedding had taken place. Had to remove the uncovered duvet inner on the bed that clearly looked to have adult stains on it. Ick! Pillowcases, sheets... More

I personally give Parnell City Lodge a Terrible rating the lowest that I can. I was very appalled with the accommodation that we received and we paid a decent amount of money for it. There were various things wrong with the unit. The main thing that we noticed was that the unit was not cleaned to the satisfactory level. There... More

I should have been suspicious when checking in to our booking which was for a Double and two singles. The room ahd a queen bed in bedroom and the double fold down wall bed. On climbing to the 2nd floor to show me the room the owner/manager muttered, "well I think it might have been cleaned." Not wanting to make... More

When we tried to check in there was no one at the desk and had to wait 30 minutes - no apology. We had booked a room with two single beds and were given one with a double - not suitable for 2 females. He begrudgingly put in a makeshift single bed, did not supply milk or soap and was... More

Small rooms, scruffy, dark, old and lacking cleanliness - don't stay here! From the outside it is obvious the place is in disrepair and the inside is even worse. Echo the comments of a previous reviewer who mentions how good the photos look. A major disappointment coupled with terrible service. You can get much better value for your money with... More

What a major let down this was.

It was our first visit to New Zealand. We had read so much about the friendly Kiwis. How delighted we were when we were greeted most warmly by Peter, the owner of this cosy place. My daughters, especially, loved the soft and warm beds. Well, that was our first stay. After a fantastic tour south, we returned to this place... More

I stayed here a few years ago for 2 months. My most recent stay saw a change of owners. The new owner is great, really made us feel welcome and you could tell he wanted you to enjoy your stay. Great wireless internet, good kitchen and little balcony. Nothing flash but it has what you need. I would recommend. Great... More
