My small family stayed in this apartment as our first landing place when we moved to New Zealand from overseas. The flat had everything we needed and was so comfortable and lovely. The area is quiet and relaxing and the beach is a very short walk down the hill. My children enjoyed playing in the park and overall it was a lovely time. The area is a bit removed from the city so can be challenging if you need to conduct a lot of business while there (and you don't have a car!), but the bus service is great and for a bit more you can take the much faster ferry across the bay. I would highly recommend this accommodation to anyone who wants a lovely stay just outside Wellington City.
