Murray & Janine's studio came to us highly recommended by friends and it did not disappoint. The well designed compact space is beautifully presented with careful attention to detail (including homemade granola) to meet the needs of guests. Efficient heating and electric blankets were much appreciated for a winter stay. If you enjoy incorporating a good walk into your travels, it's about half an hour on foot into the city centre round the waterfront or up and over the hill behind - expansive views from up on the hill on a fine day. Also easy walking around Ahuriri itself with a good selection of cafes, restaurants and bars near the waterfront. Murray was welcoming and attentive without being intrusive.
