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.

Good base to explore the area. Very quiet location. Convenient for the ferry across to Wellington. The parking is a little awkward outside the apartment but plenty of other parking nearby.
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.
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.
We enjoyed our 2 nights in Days Bay. Property within walking distance of ferry to Queens Wharf and a popular local cafe. The property was small but perfectly formed.
A perfect place to relax near the sea. Nothing was too much trouble for hosts who remained anonymous unless they were needed, whereupon they reacted promptly and efficiently An enjoyable experience

About the host
Hosted by Becky Grenfell
We have lived in Days Bay for 31 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 :-)
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 is right outside the door. The walks available are all lovely and all give beautiful views of Wellington harbour and city. Sunset beach walks, bush picnics, explore the lighthouse, lovely cafes - it is a pretty relaxed and peaceful area.
