Oriental Bay At Its Best

Views

Nothing it was perfect

The view is stunning, location is excellent, the studio has everything you need. The bed is huge and super comfy too. There was lovely bread for toast, butter and jam, muesli and milk, tea coffee etc, plenty of supplies for breakfast, nice quality body wash etc. We won't bother looking for anywhere else next time we're heading to Wellington. Fully recommend!

If you're not a fan of heights, the first trip up in the cable car is a bit scary, its worth it but that part I didn't love. My partner didn't bat an eyelid, no worries for him at all

Magnificent 'out of a calendar' view, particularly just on sunset. Good variety of breakfast cereals, toast and spreads provided. Good bus service to the city with a stop a few hundred yards from location.

Wifi did not connect at any time during our 3 night stay. Television would not work on our second day, but this could have been to do with the 5.7 earthquake we experienced. However about six hours later it did work. There did not appear to be a dishcloth available to clean dishes and only one tea towel.

the location was amazing, and the bed/pillows were sooo comfy! Every thing you needed for a 2 night stay was there, even proper handwash, bodywash and shampoo none of that bad/small hotel stuff, which was appreciated as I usually buy my own being a bit of a germaphobe. Cable car was easy to use after the first time, good instructions on how to use it.

Maybe just a piece of string/ribbon/a keychain for the key. We were scared of loosing it as it was just the one lone key. Maybe it was just us as guests, but would be good to have in case something ever happens.

Great location and view. Cable car access was unique and fun.

Better wifi would help us rate it 10/10. Needs to consider wifi extender or internet over power or something,

The view, though this should in no way be a substitute for below-par facilities.

The bathroom was miiniscule. Not even space to put a toothbrush. The lighting was poor - several of the light fittings did not work or had been disabled. Insufficient crockery and cutlery for 2 people for 2 days. Very poor breakfast - supermarket sliced bread, no fruit, no fruit juice, not even enough milk for 2 people for 2 days. No WiFi - not really acceptable nowadays, and less so in a capital city.

Location was amazation with a view to die for. The studio has everything you need, and the bed is incredibly comfortable. Just loved staying there. The added extras in the kitchen for breakfast were a bonus.

Fantastic view! And great little cable car ride to the property. Loved that there was breakfast provided.

The view was incredible! Access is via a cable car which was very interesting and also panic inducing! Quiet area, not too traffic heavy. Cafes and a few restaurants within walking distance.

Cable car didn't want to work the first few times and we had to climb the stairs. Eventually figured out how it worked though. Bathroom was freezing!
