2 Bedroom Apartment in Kaipara District, Dargaville
Large self-contained "cheap & cheerful" [unrenovated] Guest-Wing at the 150-yr-old Old Aratapu School 5-10mins from Dargaville.
BEDROOMS
> 12-PERSON DORM ROOM: Huge upstairs main bedroom with Queen bed, 2 x Double-Single bunk-beds, and 2 x Single-Single bunk-beds
> SMALL ADJOINING TWIN ROOM: Small attic bedroom, up half a flight of stairs from the huge main Dorm Bedroom, with 2 x Single Beds (and the option of the beds being pushed together and made up as a makeshift "SuperKing" bed)
ON THE GROUND FLOOR:
> Spacious old open-plan kitchen-dining-lounge (including dishwasher)
> More seating in the old conservatory off the lounge, which leads out to a small terrace with outdoor seating (smoking permitted outside)
> Old Bathroom with Shower, Washing-machine & Tumble-dryer, and separate Toilet
IMPORTANT:
NOTE-1: The standard Nightly Rate is based on the first six guests sharing the 3 x Queen/Double beds in the huge main bedroom - but don't hesitate to ask for the costs on other bedding configuration options.
NOTE-2: The 4 x Top Single Bunk Beds have a 60kg weight restriction - so primarily suitable for children.
REMMINDER
This is cheap and cheerful [unrenovated] accommodation suitable for up to 14 guests for a night or two (remember there is just one toilet, and one shower), and it is ideal for, say, 2-8 guests for longer stays.
THIS ACCOMMODATION IS NOT SUITABLE FOR FUSSY GUESTS desiring impeccable pristine accommodation - the decor is too old to provide an immaculate presentation! Please don't book this accommodation if you want fault-free perfection.
THIS ACCOMMODATION IS VERY SUITABLE FOR MID-LONGTERM "WORKER GROUPS" wanting space, simplicity and the ability to chillax - plus loads of parking.
SPECIAL NOTE FOR LONGER-TERM 'WORKER GROUP' STAYS:
When the reservation is for Worker Groups of several weeks/months, then a compulsory weekly Mini-Clean surcharge is payable to ensure a regular change of bed-sheets, and cleaning of the floors and bathroom. [Cost depends on the amount of Beds being used, but approx $70/week.]

There is also a vast amount of free parking.
FINAL REMINDER:
REMINDER - THE PLACE IS OLD & UNRENOVATED!
The decor is dated and quirky and not ideal for anyone fussy.
