Awesome

We absolutely love this little studio. It has everything you need, fantastic views and close to everything. We have now stayed here over 4 Easter’s and will be booking again for next year. Lesley is easy to deal with and always quick to respond. Highly recommend this special little place.

Ideal location and stunning view

A very relaxing setting for a summer break. Studio is largely private from owner's residence above. (The only downsides were limited wardrobe space and a bathroom that wasn't brilliant at airing out, but there's plenty of space outside to hang towels to dry)Turning the car on the steep driveway is no problem for Wellingtonians ;-)

What a gem!

Quality accommodation with a massive outdoor area offering both covered and uncovered areas to sit and relax. Wonderful views and very central with an easy walk into the township. We spotted a band was playing at the local Sports club so joined the club for the day (costing 5 for 2 people), the band was great and we had a delightful evening meal too - everyone was really friendly, definitely worth a visit. The extra fridge/freezer was very useful as the one inside the studio is small. A great Webber BBQ is available. Sufficient pots, pans, plates, glasses etc are provided. We had very warm and sunny weather so were grateful for the aircon! The owner is delightful and allowed us a later check out which was much appreciated.A very thoughtfully laid out studio, ideal for a couple. We will return!

Simply perfect

From the moment we arrived we just relaxed, the house had everything we needed with amazing view over the countryside and the beach. Close to great cafes, shops and restaurants. But you don't have to leave the house with all you could need to bbq, cook and sit outside with the views to eat all your meals. The peace and quite was just so overwhelmingly perfect! We will be going back with our 2 little dogs again they also loved the outdoor space and the house and all the time they got with us relaxing. Thank you to the lovely helpful hosts for having us!

Seahorse heaven

Lovely quiet location. Comfy bed. Well-equipped kitchen. So nice to be close to some beautiful places to explore. Only issues: TV Reception poorand remote not working. We had trouble locking the front door (it seemed to lock but didn’t!) We couldn’t make the bedside lights work. These hiccoughs did not detract from the enjoyment of our stay. We would highly recommend!

Quiet and serene

We were grateful to be allowed at this property with our pets. Albeit the grass area on ground level is enough for potty breaks, the large reserve down the driveway makes up for a good romp in the grassy area. I travelled with my elderly Father and there were 14 large steps to climb to the entry of the studio but he managed well with the railings, it was the steep long concrete drive that needed lung support when walking back (haha) but it was worth the walk. The estuary is a short walk and beautiful as ever. The studio itself is well equipped and everything you need. Large shower is amazing and roomy (it doesn’t have an extractor so it can be a tad steamy but it passes quickly). Deck is pet friendly to close the gate to keep them secure. Beautiful setting, thank you for allowing us to stay.

Little piece of paradise

Beautiful studio with a stunning deck, private entrance to the studio, within walking distance to the cafes, restaurants and beaches. Stocked with everything you need. The views from the deck are stunning. Hosts were lovely, they made us feel welcomed and offered us late check out!. I 100% both recommend it and would come back. Thank you!
