    exceptional hospitality, warm rooms, and clean spaces create a delightful stay

    The Forrest Hotel & Apartments offered a truly memorable experience. Room service was prompt, staff were friendly, and the air conditioning was a lifesaver after a long day. Plus, the location is conveniently close to Manuka!

    The bed in the Executive Two-Bedroom Apartment provided exceptional comfort. However, the lack of toilet paper for four guests was inconvenient.

    spacious apartment
    squeaky mattress
    worn blankets

    The apartment was spacious and well-equipped, with a nice big fridge.

    Unfortunately, our experience was marred by a few uncomfortable aspects. The mattress on the bed was both squeaky and unsupportive, making it hard to get a good night's sleep. Additionally, the worn blankets added to our discomfort, as we were used to quilts in most places. The noise from the room above us was occasionally disruptive, with scraping chairs that interrupted the otherwise peaceful atmosphere.

    tiny bathroom
    poor service

    I simply can't believe the absolute lack of professionalism at this so-called hotel. The bathroom was tiny, and the water pressure was a joke. After complaining, they couldn’t even offer me a better room for my troubles. I almost thought to give them a decent review but just couldn’t with conditions this poor.

    spacious apartment
    comfortable queen bed
    great location
    crowded parking
    limited signage

    I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Forrest Hotel & Apartments. The spacious one-bedroom apartment featured tasteful furnishings and a comfortable queen bed. The location was perfect, just a short stroll to Manuka shops and delightful eateries.

    Parking was quite crowded.

    comfortable apartment
    complimentary wifi
    unannounced bond payment

    I was really impressed with the comfort of the two-bedroom apartment we stayed in and the complimentary WiFi that made it easy for us to plan our days. The garden area was perfect for relaxing evenings, and we also loved using the barbecuing facilities for some family meals outdoors. Just a heads up, there was a small bond to pay at check-in that we weren't informed about ahead of time, but it didn't ruin our experience at all. 🌟

    comfortable kitchen
    friendly staff
    cramped layout
    dated bathroom
    noisy plumbing

    The executive two-bedroom apartment provided a comfortable stay, with a well-equipped kitchen that made meal prep easy. The outdoor balcony offered a lovely view of the garden and barbecue area, perfect for relaxing. However, the layout felt cramped and dated, particularly the bathroom arrangement. Expect some noise from the plumbing, which could be disruptive during the night. The friendly staff were a definite plus, providing helpful information about the area.

    well-presented apartment
    beautiful courtyard
    comfortable beds

    The two-bedroom apartment exceeded our expectations. Beautiful courtyard access from the patio was a nice touch. The furnishings were adequate and the beds comfortable. Plenty of cooking utensils were available. The cleaning upon arrival was excellent.

    outdated furniture

    Unfortunately, the room felt dated with furniture that looked straight out of a previous decade, which might not suit everyone’s taste. The bathroom had some issues, including disturbing noises from plumbing and an unreliable light that blinked before functioning. The noise from other guests was significant, especially during late-night hours when upstairs movement became quite distracting.

    Couple stay, overall decent

    The location was good and the restaurant on site had a fair selection, I even got to sit down and enjoy a decent pizza while catching up with my partner. The staff were really friendly, especially Joan, who introduced herself and shared some fun stories about the local area.

    It wasn’t cheap by any means for what we got, but still acceptable for a few nights.

    The stay was great! comfy queen bed & super clean room. Loved how close it was to shops and eatery spots. Staff were on point & super helpful, even called to make sure we found the place!

    The bathroom arrangements could be better, had some noisy plumbing during our stay.
