Beautiful apartment, well equipped and furnished and a great location. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to friends. We only had a slight issue with the directions but resolved the issue ourselves.

Girls trip

We stayed in the house as a group of girls staying the night and spending time together for a friends birthday dinner. The house is in such a great location, the car park was so convenient and the beds are so comfy! Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Everything about this apartment is excellent. Well equiped kitchen, laundry & bathroom. A lot of thought has gone into making it as warm and comfortable as possible. The location is great and although it is on the edge of the CBD it was very peaceful - even on Friday and Saturday nights. We hope that we'll have the opportunity to stay there again when we're next in Wellington.
