We stayed at this little place for 9 nights and found it comfy and warm and well set up for our stay. The supermarket is ten minutes walk and there a number of cafes and restaurants etc handy also. Five minutes walk from a beautiful bay and a really interesting bit of coastline. We went out to Red Rocks to the seal colony, and in the other direction hired e-bikes and cycled out to Pencarrow lighthouse. Direct bus route into the city with lots of op shops en route - a great place to base oneself for a Wellington visit.
