This stylish & very clean apartment is ideally located just a few minutes' walk from both the Te Papa Museum of NZ & waterfront as well as the Courtney Place & Cuba St. food & drink corridors. It's just a short walk to a wide range from upscale (Logan Brown, Dockside, Capitol, Ortega, Dragons) to cheap & cheerful (Mabel's, Napoli, 4 Seasons Garden, ReBurger, Crab Shack). And as compact as Wellington is, you can be at the top of the cable car & Botanic Gardens, over by the Beehive, or over in Oriental Bay in 20-30'.
Hard-partying Wellingtonians can get a bit rowdy on Friday & Saturday nights on their way to or from Courtney Place, but even as a light sleeper, I didn't find this to be too much bother. The other option, of course, is to join them at outstanding bars just a few blocks away such as Hawthorn Lounge or The Library, or alternatively, to recover the next morning with superb coffee at the Cafe L'Affare flagship outlet or a great brunch at Field & Green.
For those lucky enough to stay for more than just a night or two, having an en suite washer/dryer & a well-equipped kitchen is a hug plus - hope to be back again on a future visit!
