Very relaxing to stay here. Best time to enjoy this place is in the morning before the afternoon sun streams directly in in the afternoon, if you are lucky with the weather, like we were. The night lights are good too. We enjoyed the walk up to the Main Ridge track through some beech forest which starts close by. The ferry from Days bay to the city was on reduced service during our stay, so nothing anyone can do about that. Oh yeah, remind the owners to clip the trees before you get there if you want uninterrupted views. I thought the drive up would be more hair raising, but, the only threat was oncoming traffic which even when we encounted it wasn't that bad so don't stress if you aren't from Wellington and used to living on the edges.
