LOCATION
Days Bay is a nice quiet beachfront neighborhood surrounded by bush. The apartment 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.

So close to the ocean, beach, and ferry. We had a parking spot for our rental car. The water pressure in the shower was the best out all the places we stayed in New Zealand.Public transit into wellington was easy, and about a block away walk. The apartment was modern, and fully stocked. Very comfortable beds, and linens.

Enjoyed a few days in the area visiting friends and family , using Days Bay as a base and heading off to walk the Tongariro crossing further north. It worked out perfectly for what we needed. Perfectly located, making it very easy to visit the city too. Thanks for a lovely stay.
