Studio accommodation in New Zealand is one open room done well: bed, sitting area and kitchenette in one space, plus a bathroom and often a deck.
What to expect. A kitchenette rather than a full kitchen: fridge, microwave, kettle, toaster and often a coffee machine or a cooktop. A designated or off-street park, free Wi-Fi at every one, and at many a spa pool or a garden to sit in. Most ask for two nights or more.
Who they suit. Couples and solo travellers, and people working away who want their own space. Nearly all sleep two.
Where ours are. Inglewood in Taranaki, Wairakei near Taupō, Paraparaumu Beach, Hamurana on Lake Rotorua, Remuera in Auckland, Napier, Carters Beach on the West Coast, Motueka, Featherston, Queenstown, Picton and Parua Bay near Whangārei.
