This is a delightful little retreat in the hills near Lower Hutt. The hosts were friendly and accommodating. The studio itself was immaculately maintained and had everything we needed. Our kids had so much fun with the donkeys, sheep and dog and they loved living in a rural area for a couple of days. The studio is on the same property as the hosts but you wouldn't know it - it's very private and you can easily come and go as you please (having said that, we thoroughly enjoyed our chats with the hosts when we were just having 'quiet time' at 'home' and not seeing the sights of New Zealand. Would definitely recommend this place!
