Lorne Apartments
Awesome place to stay, bit of a sewerage smell at front of property but the apartment was beautiful and clean and smelt good!!!! This is a great option for people who have a whanau member in hospital, you can cook them a kai and walk it straight up to the hospital as it was a 2 minute walk. Well ...
