Very close to a lovely beach and fantastic cafes (highly recommend the Botanist even if you aren't vegetarian) and a short drive to the amazing Eastern Walkway hikes. Not far into the CBD either, so it really is 'close to everything' while not being in the center of anything. It was a lovely quiet stay in a clean, detached apartment with enough space for our family of 4 to comfortably base ourselves for a weekend exploring Wellington and surrounds.
