Mark is a wonderful host and a very nice man! He met me when I arrived and showed me around his beautiful home and even took me for a 7 mile walk around Wellington so I could get aquainted with the city.

His home is very spacious with 2 large bedrooms and bathrooms, high ceilings and has all the character you would expect in a turn of the century home. It is also very nicely decorated and clean with all the ammenities you could ask for in a home. There is also a great view of the foothills from the house.

The location is fantastic because it is only a 2 minute walk to the cable car and you can be in downtown Wellington in 5 minutes. Or you can walk into the Botanic Gardens which is right next door. There is also a bus stop by the cable car, for a free shuttle ride to this wonderful bird and nature sanctuary called Zeelandia. There are also the Kelburn shops up the street with some restaurants,a wine shop, a pub,a small grocery store, fish market, meat market and even a couple of antique shops. I highly recomend Cafe Mode for great coffee and breakfast.

I stayed at Kelburn house for one month and met my daughter there for Christmas. Mark decorated this big Christmas tree and had all of these beautiful decorations all over the house. We had a Great Christmas there because Mark made it feel so homey.

The neighbors are also very kind and made us feel welcome as well however they were not intrusive so we had plenty of privacy.

I am very happy I chose Mark's house as this was my first experiance with Air BnB. It was everything I hoped it would be, and much more.

I highly recommend this home for anyone staying in Wellington!
