Emma's place was lovely. Its style was very homey, and watching beach sunsets from her home everyday was amazing. My only critique was that the freezer was in a bit of a state and the cooking equipment was a bit dirty, and the towels are a bit old so it might be worthwhile to bring your own. Also, it's important to note there is no washer/dryer and no microwave. Otherwise, the location was a great balance of the relaxed beach and being close to the to the city. We had a great time in Wellington staying at Emma's home.
