    Helpful and friendly staff. They were able to store our bikes which was appreciated. Central location is close to everything, walking distance to shops, Pukekura Park, coastal walkway etc. Very clean & tidy, well looked after facilities.

    Shower was awesome. Lots of power. It would have been perfect if I could have adjusted the height.
