The studio will accommodate only 2 people. If you are part of a larger group, you may also be interested in Days Bay Apartment (4 persons max) which is next door. Additionally, the Studio has a maximum stay of 14 days.

Wireless internet is available.

AMENITIES outside the Apartment

OUTLOOK
The Studio is extremely private and tucked away in behind a large fence with a small courtyard.

ACCESSIBILITY
This property is not suitable for anyone with accessibility requirements. 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.

The location was perfect for us. The studio had everything we needed. It was clean and well set up and the bed was comfortable. We were able to take our small dog with us, which made travelling easier. There is a small enclosed patio area which is very private and peaceful. Lots of beautiful bird song.There is a shopping centre just down the road.Communicating with Becky was easy and she was prompt in responding to our questions.
