The view was lovely, looking down a wooded valley. The house was in an area called Belmont separated from the shops and railway (3.5km) to Wellington by a 4 lane freeway. A car and sat nav essential. As it's essentially isolated I'd say a tv is a must for the evenings. The apartment could be made more welcoming. The cast off furniture doesn't help and especially in a basement just makes it more dingy. It was a little damp and musty, I'm sure prior airing/warming through would help. Bed was fine. Overall we couldn't wait to move on.
