What a delightful home away from home.
Tucked away down a driveway, this 2 bed/2 bathroom apartment was ideal for our 5 day visit. The bedrooms were roomy with comfortable bedding.
The kitchen was very functional, and past visitors had left cereals, jams, spreads etc, which was really handy. We added to that as we shopped before we checked in.
The lounge and dining was really comfortable, and being set away from the road and separated from the hosts house, the privacy and quietness was great.
While it was winter, we did have the opportunity in the mornings to open the rear door to the grassed yard.
We ordered pizza one night from Hell Pizza in Mana and it arrived hot within 30 minutes. Other nights we drove the 5 minutes to Sandbar in Mana for a steak dinner, and an extra few minutes to Plimmerton Fish Supply to the best Fish and Chips ever.
The house is only a short walk from Browns Bay on the Pauatahanui inlet, and a very short drive from shops, restaurants etc.
As a home away from home and a launch pad for Wellington or the Kapiti Coast you are really well positioned. The host Kathryn was communicative and helpful. We even had a nice little welcome surprise on our arrival.
Thoroughly recommended!
