About this property

The Coast is Clear - South Coast delight

This recently renovated one bedroom apartment is a seven minute walk up the hill from the beautiful south coast and Owhiro Bay beach, and a three minute drive from Red Rocks and Island Bay village. Or enjoy popular cafe The Beach House Kiosk just along the Esplanade, an eight minute walk away.

The apartment has its own entrance, full kitchen facilities, new kitchen & bathroom, wifi, TV (includes Netflix, Vodafone TV). Parking is across the road in a quiet cul-de-sac.
Tastefully decorated with breakfast bar, new kitchen and Nespresso coffee. Coffee, tea, milk/sugar provided. Comfortable separate lounge with a fold down sofa that would suit a child/extra adult. Flat is part of our home and income but with separate access and facilities. Close to southern walkway for great views and good bus connections to the CBD.

excellent and enjoyable stay

such a lovely place to stay over the 5 days I was there. Of course you need a car as it is in the outer suburbs, but that was no problem. Friendly and kind hosts and I would recommend this wonderful and comfortable Airbnb to anyone who is looking for an affordable, warm location in Wellington
