There is a fab view out to Island Bay from the room. It is an interesting semi conservatory room in the sense that half of the ceiling is glass (covered by nice blue blinds), and other windows forming a bay enclose the room. The beds are warm with attractive linen and covers, BUT the room is not suitable for romantic nights because of the wooden louvre door between the room and the rest of the house. This was not a problem for me and my platonic friend, for which it was a great solution with two real, and very comfortable beds.
The shared bathroom is clean with a great shower.
There is a nice easy driving route to near suburbs and the city, with on street parking in the cul de sac. The walk to the house is up a very steep drive and there are narrow-ish steps into the house = thesis not a criticism, but it's not suitable for people with different mobility.
Ron is a great host who showed us where the tea and coffee were, the wifi pw, and how the shower turns on etc. Nice unobtrusive residents/hosts. It's also very good value in the coolest little capital city. Thank you very much.
