We stayed at Lyall Bay as it was near The Pines, in fact a short uber ride away. But the location have so much more, in particular the commanding view over the bay, airport and ease at getting around this side of Wellington. The house is stylish and is fitted with every convenience. Amazing beds - no sore back in the mornings! A heat pump, heaters and electric blankets ensured that we were warm. Great art works to appreciate, plunger coffee, iron and board; we loved every moment of our stay. Highly recommend.
