Kate was clear in her communication and instructions as how to move into the studio ourselves in case she was not at home. But on your arrival, she happened to be present and was very warm in welcoming us. She showed us around and answered to our queries with complete clarity showing a great amount of friendliness. Parking was on the road but in close proximity of the house.
The studio cottage is independent of the house located in the rear Garden of the main house. It is reasonably spacious with large panoramic wall length windows overlooking the garden. One can use the sit out in the garden on cool sunny days.
Ponsonby, a nice locality with shops & restaurants is only a few minutes drive away. The house is located in a safe and quiet neighbourhood.
Many thanks Kate for your warm hospitality and being such a lovely host. Just for your information, we could return the car in the early morning at the International Airport without any problem and have reached back New Delhi last evening through Sydney & Singapore after our memorable tour of NZ.
