Dana is a very kind and caring host who answers correspondence very promptly and even popped in to help us work out theTV controls. The apartment is comfortable with everything we needed to make the place home for 10 days. It's in a good location and surprisingly quiet even though it's on a busy road. We enjoyed walking to Petone's lovely cafes and it's only a short drive to Lower Hutt shopping mall. It is an older place and for us the only downside was the musty smell, this may have been because temps were cooler so the place was closed up more than in summer. Overall we really enjoyed our stay. Many thanks Dana.
