Very clean and tidy and a very comfortable bed. Just the basics in coffee and tea even though there was a coffee plunger available and you will need to bring your own breakfast supplies.

Great place to stay when visiting friends/family close to Wellington
Lovely clean and tidy unit, well equipped, nice & quiet up a long driveway. This was very convenient - 15 mins to Lower Hutt shops, 30 mins to the Wellington CBD. Not too far to walk to the local train station (15-20 mins). Would stay again.
