WiFi Internet Access with Zenbu

Dorset Apartments have wireless (WiFi) broadband internet access available in all apartments (at both the City and St Albans properties). This is via the fabulous Zenbu hotspot system. It's so easy, just login, create a free account, top up with your credit card, and you're online. And because it's based on the amount of data you use (rather than time online) it's very cheap too - the average cost for a typical Zenbu WiFi user is a mere $1.24 per hour (based average data use of around 12.30MB/hour). So bring your laptop along and enjoy easy internet access during your stay.
