Great spot with Food and bars close by. Supermarket handy and the Warehouse for anything else required. Train station about 5-10 minute walk. A walk down the beach in the evening or morning is a great way to relax. The room is basic but has everything that you need. I stay again as the location was great for going to sports or a concert in Wellington and not having to worry about parking.

Hi there, I've stayed at Asure 83 before and it felt different then - pre Covid days. Now it just seemed tired. On arrival, the person at Reception was a young guy who really didn't fit there and certainly didn't have a clue. The Manager was fine. He had phoned me the evening prior to make sure he had the details for bedding configuration correct - which I appreciated. I spoke to him in the morning about the noise throughout the complex (we had 10 people in 5 rooms). Apparently there was a sports group of 18 year olds in-house. That was a shame, and a nuisance, as we'd driven down from Cambridge and had to drive the same distance back the next day after attending WOW. We really needed our rest. The reception area is tired, as are the grounds and the rooms, especially the area just outside the rooms. No extraction fan in the bathroom, but there were condoms in the bedside cabinet (really?!). The carpet was not vaccumed. I would give this a 2 star rating
