Summary: We really enjoyed our stay in this home! The views are incredibly beautiful. Julie the host is thoughtful and supplied everything we needed. We loved Wellington as well. We used the city bus system almost exclusively and it took us everywhere we wanted to go. We enjoyed the cable car and the Wellington Botanical Gardens were exquisite. The Te Papa museum is a must see. The Grocer’s Shed, a short walk from the house, has delicious food, coffee, and ice cream. We would love to return and would definitely stay in this home again. Highly recommended!
