Steps to the Clouds · Cloud Loft Family Suite

Welcome to Steps to the Clouds · Cloud Loft Family Suite, a private upstairs loft in Mellons Bay with a bright lounge, one bedroom with a king-size bed and a cozy skylight single room – ideal for a couple and one child or two friends. You’ll have your own lounge, bathroom and tea & snack corner with fridge, microwave, kettle and a small complimentary snack box (bread, tea, coffee and light bites). Just a short walk to Mellons Bay beach and Howick village

Steps to the Clouds · Cloud Loft Family Suite is a private upstairs loft family suite in Mellons Bay, set in a quiet, safe residential street just a short walk from Mellons Bay beach and Howick village. Guests enjoy the peaceful neighbourhood, sea breeze and birdsong in the morning, while still being close to cafés, shops, supermarkets and bus routes – it feels like a local hideaway rather than a busy city stay.

The suite occupies the entire upper level of the house and has the feel of a small boutique apartment. You have your own lounge, a bedroom with a king-size bed, a cozy skylight single room and a private bathroom on the same level. The lounge is arranged as a comfortable living space with sofa, TV, reading lamp and a beautiful antique burr-walnut cabinet that gives the room a warm, characterful feel. Beside it is a small travel / work desk with New Zealand guidebooks and maps – a handy spot to plan road trips, study or catch up on emails.

Next to the lounge is a compact tea & snack corner with fridge, microwave, kettle, basic tableware and a small complimentary snack box, ideal for simple breakfasts and light bites. This listing does not include a full kitchen. For stays of 5 nights or longer, guests who need to cook can message me before booking and we can discuss limited shared use of the downstairs family kitchen.

Off-street parking is available on the property, and access to the suite is via the back garden and external stairs, so you can come and go with good privacy and enjoy a calm, comfortable base in Mellons Bay.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We liked how the property was within an easy walking distance to Howick Village and Howick Beach. Host Steve was super responsive, welcomed us when we arrived and prepared wine, fruits, cereal and milk for us. He also lets us use the washing machine and hang laundry. The independent studio is accessed through the main house so we had to carry all of our stuff through his house. Steve said we could use his main kitchen but we were ok with the kettle and utensils that he prepared for us, so we didn’t use his kitchen. Overall we enjoyed our stay and highly recommend him and his property for a short term stay!
