We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Christine's place in Wellington. The place was as described, clean and tidy, great views, and in a perfect neighborhood as far as we are concerned. We were able to take a beautiful 20 minute walk to the waterfront and Te Papa or to Cuba Street to explore the various shops, cafés and restaurants. Alternatively, the cable car is less than five minutes away and can get you up and down the hill. The botanical gardens are just next to the cable car, so again a perfect area! Christine and John were absolutely wonderful and we so enjoyed spending time with them. They are wonderful hosts and we will be staying here next time we come to Wellington!
