My husband and I stayed at Ann & Bob’s studio for a week over Christmas. It was the perfect getaway from town, great to visit family in the city but then enjoy the solitude and quiet back in Portobello. The studio is as advertised, exceedingly clean and well appointed with plenty of room for two people to chill out, the shower is excellent and bed very comfy. I really enjoyed watching the bellbirds and tui feeding on the flax flowers and the views across the harbour, any weather/day/night, were beautifully calming and restful. We are private folk and enjoyed the fact that we were left to our own devices; Ann & Bob’s home was a great choice for us, we loved the drive in and out of town, even saw the full moon rising over the calm harbour, fabulous! We would definitely stay again, excellent value and hosting, thank you both.
