It is great when someone puts a lot of thought into the space they are offering, such as Andrea and John. I stayed for a month and it was an excellent choice. The space is well designed and furnished. The kitchen is outfitted for cooking - not just reheating.
The bedroom area shares space with a section of a sectional sofa that could use a face lift. But without the facelift, it is a seriously comfortable piece of furniture. There is a very comfortable queen size bed. The nightstands have these great bedside lamps which are a combination reading lamp and an adult nightlight with soothing color choices. So cool.
There is also a massive television with so many programming choices that I could have watched something different everyday.
The bathroom is spacious and again, very well thought out. There is also a combination Bosch washer and dryer which does a very good job.
It is easy to walk into the Hataitai Village for coffee or a burger or to shop at the little corner grocery store. Walking into Kilbirnie takes a little longer but is a pleasant walk if you want a major grocery store or other shops you cannot find in Hataitai. If you have a car, parking can be a challenge depending on your comings and goings but I did not need a car the entire time I was there.
I would definitely stay here again the next time I am in Wellington.
