There is a work-from-home office set up in each of the rooms, with a large oak desk and stylish chair. The desks can be disassembled and stored if not required. Quality linens and towels are provided.
The apartment has been decorated with high-quality, designer furniture and fixtures throughout, including a six-seat linen sofa with oversized cushions, swamp Kauri coffee table, rattan and recycled elm wood occasional chair, all natural light fittings and large-format framed prints by renowned NZ photographers.
