If you have a sense of history and classic style, you'll love the upstairs studio at Te Maunga, a heritage home of the 1930s. The studio consists of the spacious former master bedroom and its dressing room, now converted to a kitchenette and seating/dining area that's separated from the bedroom by a curtained doorway. The private bathroom is right next door and because you have to take 2 steps into the hallway to reach it, Anne has provided (a) à little night light to show the way and (B) bathrobes for modesty! There are windows on 3 sides of the Studio, with views of sea, mountains and gardens respectively. On New Year's Eve, my husband and I returned late from a long day's outing to find that Anne had already washed, dried and folded the 4 or 5 items we'd left with her that morning. (She'd kindly offered to add them to her wash.) After a hot shower, we enjoyed a quiet drink together in the comfortable sitting area within the bedroom, looking out over the sea, the lights of Nelson and eventually the NYE fireworks. Next morning, after making our own breakfast in the kitchenette (which has fridge, jug and toaster but no stove), we were given a guided tour of the downstairs part of the house, Anne's personal space - a lovely way to finish our very pleasant stay in a home with such character! Thank you, Anne - you're a gracious host!
