I loved everything about my stay at Winstonland Studio and with Kim. Kim was friendly, good at communicating and really welcoming when I arrived - it couldn't have been better.

The photos really don't do this place justice. Kim's creativity and design work are fantastic, and I loved everything about the studio from the painted and stencilled floors, the furniture, the cool art work (Kim's), retro furniture with a modern twist to the funky handbasin in the bathroom. Kim has created a beautiful small courtyard and entry with a BBQ, chairs, plants and it was nice to sit outside under the big walnut tree on a beautiful Napier summers evening.

The beach and the cool food places in Ahuriri are literally 1/2 a block away, so location wise it was perfect.

The studio was spotlessly clean and I appreciated the fruit bowl to munch on (this is after-all the region of abundance in food and produce) .

So if I had to rate this, I'd give it a 12 out of 10. Thanks Kim for sharing your creativity and manaakitanga with me.
