There is a sloped entrance to the studio gate, followed by a single step into the courtyard and front door. There also a step up into the bathroom. LOCATION Days Bay is a nice quiet beachfront neighborhood surrounded by bush. The studio is located about 100m back from the beach. Within a 2 minutes walk of the property, you can experience the Days Bay swimming beach, Days Bay Pizzeria, Days Bay Pavilion Cafe, Days Bay Cafe, Sea Salt Restaurant (amazing views to Wellington), a lovely gift shop and gallery, bus stop, Williams Park and bush walks galore. The East by West Ferry takes commuters to/from Days Bay and Wellington throughout the day and also stops at historic Matiu/Somes Island. Within 5 minutes drive or 20 minutes walk along the beach front is the Eastbourne Village. Here you will find the supermarket, pharmacy, deli, post shop, gift shops, Fish and Chips, Indian Takeaway, Liquor shop, Library, cafes, playground, outdoor swimming pool, school and the pub. GETTING HERE Wellington is a 30 minute drive, the airport about 40 minutes – depending on traffic. If you are flying in, it is sensible to catch an Uber or the Airport Shuttle – delivers to the door (cheaper than a taxi). If you are coming off the InterIslander Ferry, have a look out the right window as you sail into the harbour and you will see Eastbourne Village and the Bays. I will be a lovely 20 minute drive around the harbour from the ferry terminal. LONGER STAY? If you are looking for something for a longer term than a month, then let me know.

Lovely place to stay. Comfy bed, everything that you would need was available. The only wee thing that may be an issue to some people is the big step up to the bathroom. Otherwise a great place to stay

The host was really helpful and while the accommodation was compact, it worked well. Close to the ferry to Wellington and bus service to the city.

Enjoyable week away, easy hosts to work with, and a great location. The weather was fantastic for the time of the year, with beautiful walks and drives around the bays taken full advantage of. Would have no hesitation to stay again or recommend to others.

When we booked this place my wife and I thought this would be the "roughing it" part of our trip, staying outside the city and not in a hotel/resort.
This wound up being nicer than half the places we stayed during our travels! The place is cozy and cute, has everything you need, from glassware to extra towels, and Becky, knowing it was our honeymoon, prestocked our fridge with some chocolates and french champagne!
I couldn't have asked for a better experience and for the price point it is probably the best rental I've ever booked.
Cons (if there are any): definitely not big enough for more than two people, maybe two and a child.
Because of how it's situated on the hill and in the house, not much natural light. We preferred this as we like sleeping in but it might be a con to others.
Not a ton of restaurants or markets out in Days bay so do your shopping and whatnot before you get on the ferry, but don't worry, what's there (the lovely cafe in the park) is splendid and cheap!
Overall a 5/5 across the board and if we ever can afford a flight back to NZ I know just where we:LL be staying.

Room a bit small for a week and we did find the step up into the bathroom a bit challenging particularly in the night. Luckily we went out every day from daylight until dusk because with such a confined small courtyard below the road level it was not usable.

We enjoyed our stay. The big plus for us was the location. The close proximity to the beach and the park for walks with our dogs was brilliant. Luckily the weather was good as the studio is small if you had to be inside for any length of time. Also the outside area is tiny and not a sunny spot to sit out in. Williams Park cafe 2 minute walk away made up for that. Just remember if you park outside the garage doors, back up and park that way. Do not drive up expecting to back down. It is very steep just outside the garage doors and you will get stuck.
Just a little tip Becky we would have appreciated just a small container of milk in the fridge and ground coffee rather than instant etc. From our experience of staying in several BNB that seems to be the norm. In fact, most seem to have different little "extras" which just add to the pleasure of the stay.

There had a been a issue with the initial booking, B&B were kind enough to resolve however on return the following week despite having had a conversation with owner unit was double booked, nowhere to stay and no offer of assistance. 930pm on Monday evening of a public holiday, fortunately one of the staff was able to give a place to stay

My partner and I stayed at this property for a weekend break.
The unit is clean, tidy, and modern and in a great location close to a good swimming beach and the ferry to Wellington.
The host gave us clear communication and check-in was easy. I'd definitely stay here again.

The landlady was lovely and very helpful. I had total privacy and she was financially fair. The unit is very close to a cool licenced bistro with a cafe for ice creams, gelato and food attached. The personnel were very friendly. It is also only a half hour walk from Eastbourne. Additionally, the bus service to and from Wellington stopped in front of the cool bistro and cafe.

Enjoyed our stay at Days Bay‼️ Perfect location to hike a track, walk to store or jump on ferry to spend a day in Auckland.

Quiet neighbourhood just 3 min walk from park and beach (though dogs are not allowed during daylight saving period, but we went in September so that was good). The cafe near the park is also dog friendly.
Cozy and private studio. Super easy check-in. Clean and with all necessary amenities, even a dog bowl and bed was provided!
Will definitely stay again if we come back to Wellington!
Did not meet the hosts, but they were always available by text!!!
Thanks again Becky!
