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.

Also included are a few basic staples in the pantry (tea coffee, sugar, salt pepper etc).There is also a generous bathroom including a shower, toilet and large vanity.
Linen included. Washing Machine located just outside back door.
Wireless internet is available.
AMENITIES outside the Apartment
The garden/outdoor living area landscaped, there is a table and BBQ
On street parking only.
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.
LONGER STAY?
If you are looking for something for a longer term than a month, then let me know.

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.
