极差的体验！Booking上的描述不清晰，没有说明这是一个地下室，否则我是不会预订这里的。
住的半地下室，只有小小的窗户在天花板下，外面是砂石路的灰尘直接灌进来。天花板是薄薄的木板，楼上每走一步都咯吱作响，每一个动作都听得清清楚楚。床垫完全没有支撑，整个人陷入里面，睡得腰酸背痛。Booking上的描述没有说明这是一个地下室，非常不地道。

Great place to stay!
I was in the self contained studio at the rear of the property, it was a great little space, everything l needed and private. It’s by the lake and within walking distance to the CBD
The car spaces were a bit tight and…

The shower was pretty rubbish. Bed mattress too soft.

Questions about Kea by the Lake

What time is check-in and check-out at Kea by the Lake?

Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 9:30 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.

Does Kea by the Lake allow pets?

No — the property states that pets are not allowed.

Is there parking at Kea by the Lake?

Parking is listed among the property's facilities. Whether it's free and whether a space can be reserved varies, so we check it against your dates rather than promise it here.

Does Kea by the Lake have Wi-Fi?

Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.

Does Kea by the Lake have wheelchair accessible rooms?

The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.

How do I book Kea by the Lake?

Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
