Loved Barbara's place!! Lovely location, felt very tranquil, birds singing in the morning. The studio is perfect - lots of little extra touches - chocolates, milk options, board games, books, DVDs. The heater was on when we arrived so the place was toasty - much appreciated on a chilly Wellington day! Super clean. Short walk to local train station. We walked from the Khandallah Hall on the main street back to the studio - took about ten minutes (drunken stroll!) We would have liked more time to relax there and chill. Would 100% recommend.
