Silke made us feel very welcome.
Our room was beautifully prepared. Our room, the house, is tastefully decorated, fresh and clean.
Our arrival time meant that Silke would be at work. It was no problem, we received an email prior to our arriving explaining exactly how to find her house, which room was ours. There were notes in the room and chocolates! In the end our plane was delayed and Silke was there when we arrived which was nice. The house and outlook are exactly as described, stunning. The hospitality, the views and the activity in Lyall Bay made our trip memorable. We enjoyed brunch at the famous local Maranui Surf Club and a dinner at the Spruce Goose, both wonderful and highly recommended. The weather was great, so warm and sunny.
The neighbourhood is very nice, lovely homes all enjoying the Lyall Bay scenery. We have stayed in Wellington before, but normally in the CBD. Our weekend at Silke's made us aware that there is so much more to Wellington. They south bays are beautiful.
Silke went out of her way to help us including a scenic drive which we wouldn't have been able to do on our own. Silke is a great host, genuinely wanting to help her guests enjoy their stay in Wellington.
