Welcoming and comfortable
We loved our stay with Jan and Phil who seem to have thought about everything their guests would need and they made us feel very welcome! To us it felt like a 'home away from home'. Our only regret is that we were not able to stay in Wellington longer. There was plenty to do, including some amazing walks. We would certainly seek out this property again on subsequent visits and will happily recommend it to others.

Had a great stay, lovely layout of studio with the bedroom still having some seperation. Fantastic quiet location but quick to the city. Amazing price. Being a downstairs unit - when owners walking around upstairs it is a bit loud. Lovely breakfast left available.

The apartment was warm, snug, comfy and quiet. It had everything we needed for a weekend stay. It is close to one of the walking tracks behind Jville and a short driving distance to shops, bus/train, supermarket etc. Jan was friendly and helpful.

Enjoyed our stay, weather didn't get off to a great start for the first two days, but then it was glorious. Love the reserve being right at the doorstep, great place for a walk or run. Jan is a fantastic host, we highly recommend staying here. Thank you 🙂
