Even though I spent most of my time in Wellington at a conference, Irene's and Cliff's place was the perfect place to come to in the evenings, it was quiet, cosy and relaxing. Many places to eat at or get food from around the corner as well as a supermarket; breakfast, a kettle, toaster and microwave are provided. The bus to the city is just in front of the house and runs regularly. Irene and Cliff are lovely, it was a pleasure to talk to them and made me feel like home. They have great tips for activities in Wellington unfortunately I didn't have the time to try them out myself, but ask Cliff for his favourite walk up the hill in Island Bay, it gives you an awesome view of the coastline, a great atmosphere as well as the chance to spot and observe tuis and other birds quite colsely.
