The studio is fabulous - modern, stylish, comfortable, spacious with a lovely view through the garden to the water. It is private but the hosts are very friendly and welcoming so anything you need just ask, it's no trouble. It is a short walk down the steep hill to the only bit of beach around Wellington harbour, great spot for takeaway coffee (and icecream), cafe and little shop with essentials. Bus is handy and its only 20min walk along the esplandade to the centre of town, about 35min to business centre, parliament etc.
