The Studio is perfect and exactly what it looks like in the pictures. It's totally private and quiet, located behind the host's house, with its own entrance. You're not overlooked by anyone and there is a pleasant deck with potted trees plus an outdoor table. The kitchen has everything you could need for a stay and a very comfy Queen size bed. It IS a studio, so it doesn't have a separate living area, but it's ideal for a couple or solo traveller. It's modern and immaculately clean too.
What also stood out was how helpful Rowena was. With cyclone Gabrielle having just gone through NZ, there were lots of road closures. But Rowena got in touch and advised of the best route to take to get to Raglan. She also offered to store my luggage at her place on the last day, while I was on a course (I couldn't have a late check-out because people were coming in) . She was very helpful and available on the end of the phone/txt. I would definitely stay there again.
