Wrights by the Sea Deluxe studio was very clean and tidy. Had lots of space and large kitchen space. We had booked the room for a couple for the night but after seeing the room we could absolutely fit the 3 children next time we come back. We would book again. Happy with our stay, easy communication, clean and close to Kapiti shops and park.

Really nice property that was perfectly located for a function we were attending. It had everything we need. A very minor point is an extractor fan in the bathroom would be useful.
