In a mostly black-and-white city, this is a colorful and peaceful place in the back garden with birds chirping and flowers. This is not your regular B&B, it's an artist-designed studio. Extremely clean, comfortable, and has everything you will need. Internet WIFI speed is 25mbps. The bus stop is an 8-min walk, which is really nice through an upscale neighborhood. Only 5-mins by bus and costs 2.10 NZD from there to the CBD. The host is generous and helpful. The only thing was it was pretty hot on the day I arrived and apparently, it doesn't get that hot often, so it felt a bit stuffy since there are no fans, but by the night it was cool and nice. There are a bunch of layers of sheets to keep you warm. Wish I was able to stay here longer.
