Howard and Joan are incredible hosts. The studio is slightly away from the house so you have your own space and privacy but if you need any tips or questions answered, Howard and Joan are happy to help. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to make dinner if you prefer to not eat out on some nights. The bathroom is basically your own as it is based on the ground floor right by the bedroom. The shower is incredible! The room itself is very cosy - it gets warm very quickly if you put the heater on for ten minutes and the electric blanket is a nice touch too (plus the bath robes and fresh towels!). We had lots of space to unpack and hang our clothes. We were given a wonderful breakfast each morning which we loved (homemade yogurt - the best!). The area itself is about a 25 minute walk into the city or you can catch the bus right outside the house. Down the road there is a little shop to stock up on daily groceries as well as some nice little restaurants and a great Indian Takeaway. Howard and Joan drove us around the bays so we really got to see Wellington and they also dropped us to the airport! They are amazing hosts - would definitely recommend staying here if you want to have a wonderful time in Wellington!
