We enjoyed Maria’s place! It’s homely and has what you need to feel comfortable:plenty of hot water, good bed, cooking facilities and spacious. Wellington is hilly and the accommodation is quite a way from the city. But there is a cinema at the top of the hill, a lovely cafe and a fruit and veg shop. Buses with connections to the city nearby. Maria was helpful , advising us on local places to visit. Love Cuba Street and Te Papa. Thanks Maria!
