Liz and Gordan are amazing, kind and generous hosts. The accommodation was fantastic! The studio has it's own entry, but there was also internal access to the main house if you wished to use the lounge available for guests. The room was very clean and tidy, the bed very comfortable, and all the amenities/utilities/utensils you would need to be self-sufficient during your stay were there at hand. Down a quiet lane right on the edge of a park, it was lovely to be out of the bustle of the city, but still close to it - being from Upper Hutt, the distance/time/ease to get to the city centre was a breeze!! Liz and Gordon have a wealth of knowledge of their city, their region and their Island - and so easy to talk to and ask questions as needed. They really do go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable. I would highly recommend a stay with Liz and Gordon :)
