Sio and his housemates made me very welcome over a two week stay. The room and balcony receive morning sunshine and have a fabulous view out over the water and local yacht club. The rear garden is perfect for sitting in afternoon sun, being sheltered, while still having water views.
The location gave me a level walk of one hour, along the waterfront into the city, while the other direction is a similar distance along the bay into Miramar. There are frequent buses stopping nearby.
The room is comfortable, clean and well furnished. Sio provided a new hairdryer and I particularly liked having my own fridge in the room. The other housemates are quiet, clean and tidy and in fact, I hardly saw or heard anyone else.
I hope to stay there again, when I next plan to visit Wellington.
