We received a genuinely warm welcome from Cushla to her stunning, beautifully designed, finished and furnished studio apartment, with its own private and secluded deck; it's perfect for a couple. The fridge was amply stocked with delicious organic breakfast foods to help us manage the first day or so. The studio is easy to find, situated adjacent to the host's own lovely property, up a short if steep hill with free unrestricted parking at the top, if there's space. It has splendid views overlooking the small sandy beach at Oriental Bay, and beyond. Local bars, cafes and dairy, are close by. Central Wellington is short walk around the curve of the bay, with its lively dockside weekend life.There is excellent access to the airport, station and ferries. A superb apartment and great host, well worth making the effort to return in the future.
