Casa del Sole Apartments

Very good location. Nice one bedroom apartment on the 4 floor.

Idéal pour les affaires . Pres de la mer pour se reposer

Emplacement parfait, nous avions demandé un étage élevé ce qui a été respecté, la vue est magnifique ! Les appartements sont spacieux et lumineux

Don't stay here. My worst ever experience I am affriad. Room stunk of sewage. We checked other floors and similar smell, so not just an unlucky room selection. In room facilities are sparse. No toilet paper. They instuct you to go to a shop to get some....a 15min walk. Will also need for dishwasher to get detergent. We moved to another hotel. Will ruin your holiday if stay here. Don't risk it.

I can only reiterate what Michael wrote in August 2023 and agree totally with his assessment. My opinion is the location is fantastic, the apartment spacious and adequately equipped. The balcony was perfect for alfresco meals with the most fabulous view. We travel with carry on only so we bought a knife and some dishwashing detergent when we arrived. We self catered some of our meals and were happy with the kitchen equipment and supplies. There is noise on Friday and Saturday nights till the early morning but nothing some earplugs would not fix or the place is not for you. After some of the reviews I was very pleasantly surprised at the apartment and the location.

Love watching the sun go down from our 15th floor apartment. The kitchen was great to use and made all our meals there. Water pressure can be bad on the higher floors when at busy times of the day. WiFi was terrible first thing in the morning and every evening. So little bandwidth that had to wait until late just to open FaceBook on the PC and midnight to upload photos on the weekends. A bit better during the week as it was shoulder season and not so many people then. Floors transmit noise from people walking around upstairs and moving furniture etc. Great location with all the restaurants and shops etc right by the place.

Having read mixed reviews on Tripadvisor, we were unsure what we would find. We have returned from a great holiday, most of the negatives we had read were not our reality. The staff, despite the language barrier, were without exception helpful, friendly and courteous. A couple of minor issues were dealt with speedily - an English/French dictionary would have been helpful for communicating technical issues not covered by tourist phrase books! The apartment was huge, light and clean, if a little dated in places. Bedroom large, plenty of wardrobe space/hangers, and shelving. Queen bed was comfortable, with quality sheets and a duvet. Kitchen reasonably well equipped, with induction hob, oven, microwave, coffee maker, but were glad we took a good kitchen knife and a dish brush and dishcloths. Bathroom was big, clean and no issues with hot water; shower towels/bathmat supplied, but take your own face cloths. The balcony was large and sheltered, with great views over the Baie des Citrons and lovely sunsets. Clothes washing not a problem with a good washing machine and large clothes airer. Apartment was not serviced, so you are responsible for taking the rubbish out - not a problem. You have to provide subsequent rubbish bags, and also toilet paper. At the end of the stay, you undertake to leave the apartment in a clean state - a broom and dustpan-and-brush is provided. The building is in a good location, less than 2 minutes walk to the bus stop and Baie des Citrons beach, and close to multiple cafes/bars/eateries. A small but adequate supermarket is an easy 15-20 mins walk away, also close to bus stops and an excellent bus service. Food prices are pretty close to NZ prices, so no nasty surprises there. We had read one review on this site that said beaches were closed until the end of 2023 - this is not so! The Baie des Citrons beach is completely open, while the Anse Vata beach is having work done along the promenade and small sections are closed, depending on where work is being carried out. We were there during the last week of July and the first week of August. Had a lovely holiday in an excellent location, and recommend the Casa del Sole as a well-priced and pleasant place to stay.

Our family of four just spent a week at Casa del Sole in a 2 bedroom apartment on the top floor (16). The location is perfect, sitting right between Baie des Citrons and Anse Vata, which means incredible views from the rooms. The balcony had a table and some lounge chairs so was a great place to eat meals. But we spent most of our time out and about - evenings on Baie des Citrons watching the sun go down were magical. We knew ahead of time to bring supplies including dishwasher tabs, dishwashing liquid, some extra toilet paper etc so were not concerned about this. There was soap and body wash in the apartment. Kitchen equipment was basic and wouldn’t cater for complex cooking but was fine for the occasional meal we prepared. The supermarket at Port Plaisance was a 15 minute walk or a short bus ride. We arrived late at night and were sent good instructions for access via key safe, although didn’t realise until the next day that lights in the hallways are on a timer so it was dark as we came through. But again, no big problem. The shower was a bit ordinary but the kids were happy to have a bath. We didn’t try the hotel WiFi as we rented Pocket WiFi, which was delivered to the hotel and gave great portable signal for the whole holiday. Casa del Sole is not a luxury hotel, but we would definitely stay there again. It was excellent value for money compared with other apartment-style hotels. Last time we were in Noumea we stayed at Anse Vata but we much preferred this location. Can’t wait to return.

We stayed at the Casa Del Sole for 6 nights recently, as a family of 4, in a 2 bedroom apartment. The apartment (on level 15, overlooking Baie des Citrons) was large and comfortable. The view was spectacular both day and night. One bedroom had 2 single beds, the other had a queen sized bed. There was air conditioning in both bedrooms (but not the main living area/kitchen), and each room opened out onto a balcony. The balcony for the main living area was huge and had outdoor furniture so you could eat and relax outside, while inside were couches and a dining table/chairs. There was a clothes washing machine and a drying rack. The kitchen has some basic (limited) utensils and a dishwasher. There is a good amount of crockery and glassware, and a large fridge. The apartment isn’t serviced during your stay, and you need to bring your own washing up liquid, detergent, dishwasher powder, and toilet paper (there is only one initial roll in each toilet). The apartment itself is a bit dated. Any of these disadvantages are offset by the incredibly good value for money that this apartment is – compared to either other nearby apartments (eg the Hilton Residences at Anse Vata, where we have stayed before, which are smaller and significantly more expensive). The price is incredibly affordable and makes it a great choice for a family break. The apartment is located at Baie des Citrons, and is short walk from the beach and many restaurants/bars. It is a slightly longer (but still not far) walk across to Anse Vata, where there is a also a beach, shuttle to Ile aux Canards, and many other restaurants and bars. There was some noise from the bars at Baie des Citrons on the Saturday night, but it was not intrusive once the balcony doors were closed. There is ample parking, and a small convenience store adjacent to reception (open each morning, and then later in the afternoon). Check in was in French language only, and payment was required at check in. The property accepts Visa and Mastercard credit cards. There is a small swimming pool which we used several times during our stay. WiFi is available at a reasonably low price (2100 XPF for a week), but to go with the low price it was patchy and unreliable. It was fine for occasional use on vacation, but would not be good if you were trying to have Zoom / Teams calls etc. I would highly recommend this Casa del Sole as a great apartment to stay at when in Noumea, and do look forward to staying here again in the future. It is also important to remember that with the lower price there is no servicing and you need to supply certain items.
