LOCATION
Days Bay is a nice quiet beachfront neighborhood surrounded by bush. The apartment 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 Apartment in Days Bay
Beautiful location. Neat and tidy apartment and pet friendly! My 13 year old might have been a bit heavy for the top bunk bed and would probably suggest it for smaller children, instead. Loved our stay overall and highly recommendable.

Great location
Great stay except for noise from those above us. Obviously wooden flooring, we could hear every step and even phone conversation at one stage. Very hard bed.

Stay in the bay
We have stayed before in the smaller studio so decided to try the apartment this time. Both very good. But apartment better as it gets the sun and can park off the road

About the host

Hosted by Becky Grenfell

Host profile image
We have lived in Days Bay for 30+ years. We have 3 grown up children whom have almost all left home. We have traveled, particularly in Asia and lived in Singapore for 4 years. We particularly enjoy the bush and village life that is Eastbourne, but with the added advantage of being near Wellington City where we can get our cultural, shopping and sporting fix :-)

We look forward to meeting you and hope you enjoy your travels as much as we enjoy hosting.

Why they chose this property

We love our location and the amenities at our doorstep, it is a different pace of life from being in the city.

What makes this property unique

The beach and the bush less that 5 minutes walk. Sunset beach walks, bush picnics, explore the lighthouse.
