This place was lovely with lots of nice touches. The bathroom in particular was quite luxurious. The bed was cosy and comfortable and the view out to the sea was nice. It was very close to the beach and fairly handy to food places for dinner (via car). We were very grateful to be able to have our dog with us too, however dog owners to note that dogs aren't allowed in the bedroom at all and are not allowed to toilet on the lawn, you have to take them down the driveway and a few metres down and accross the road to the park to go toilet. These rules werent on the original listing before we booked and only found out when we got there. On the plus side the park accross the road was off leash and the dog loved it. There is also a great fully fenced dog park about 5 min drive up the road. Also of note: there is quite a bit of noise from upstairs, you can hear the owners and dog walking on the hardwood floors up there and can also hear them talking sometimes and the TV going (although not to make out what they are saying). Noise didn't bother us too much and it didn't go too late or too early. Also I had no phone reception or data at the unit at all (2 degrees) hubby is Vodafone and was better but still limited, WiFi wasn't very strong in bedroom and kept dropping but was good in the other room. Netflix only on TV (no free view). Overall though I think this place was very good value for money near Wellington City.
