We had a great night's stay at this hilltop apartment in Wellington. Amazing views of Lyall Bay and a great view of the airport on the other side. The kids spent much of the stay just sitting by the huge windows watching the planes take off and land (you can't hear them at all other than the odd low rumble of a couple of the jumbo's that come in during the day).
Brian was really helpful and had some good tips of local walks and places to eat/drink. Would definitely recommend.
