This historic house is like something from Studio Ghibli’s “Howl’s Moving Castle”. It’s packed with historic charm, stained glass windows, comfy beds, wood floors, things to see in every nook and cranny, doors that lead out to garden and verandas, you never know what you’ll see. If you’re lucky, a glimpse of one of the two cats is on offer as well. Close to the airport and city center, a great location to make a base to explore Wellington and its bays and beaches. An absolute delight.
