This was a wonderful place to stay for the two of us for our nearly three months stint from late April to mid July. Lovely views; bush walks from the front door; and bellbirds, kaka and kereru outside the windows. Michelle and Mike were very welcoming, considerate and a pleasure to have as hosts. They were very responsive when we had questions or issues, for example quickly providing a replacement can opener or addressing minor maintenance issues.
The kitchen, while small, was very functional and has plenty of storage space. We particularly enjoyed the large open plan lounge, dining, kitchen area with views of the garden. The bedroom was also a lovely space to wake up in with many windows, including glass double doors to the outside – and plenty of hanging space in the walk-in wardrobe. The outside areas were lovely even in winter and would be even better for visits at other times of the year when you can enjoy the views and the sun with the outdoor chairs and tables on the lawn. The washing machine, dryer and spacious bathroom are all in good condition.
There is no second bedroom but rather a small functional study behind the kitchen with a glass desk. We used it a bit but found we preferred working in the open plan area. Wifi was good.
Things to note – There is a reverse cycle airconditioner that worked fine, but because it is oddly placed in a small corridor alcove you will need to ramp up the temperature much higher than normal so it reaches your desired temperature in the rest of the flat.
Bus routes in Wellington were being revamped just as we left and I understand the Wilton area would be getting better services.
There is a supermarket and petrol station down the road about a 20 min walk.
