Kirstin and Alan have sure earned their Superhost rating. Their house is located on a beautiful, quiet street in Northland, with green hilly views, and other characters houses on the street. A $10 Uber ride to the centre city, or a 20ish minute walk to the top of the famous cable car (then a few dollars per adult down in to town), the location is really great. There is also off street parking if you have your own vehicle.
We didn't manage to see either of the hosts until the morning we left, but good instructions and keypad entry meant the suite was very accessible.
The house is stunning, and the suite is very charming, clean, warm, light and spacious. The bathroom is very modern, the shower pressure is amazing and hot. The bathtub lovely and deep. The shampoo, conditioner, hand wash and body wash are all supplied, and good brands: Tresemme and EcoStore. The towels are the softest towels you've ever felt.
The bed linen is just as high a standard, and the bed is very comfy.
The suite doesn't have a kitchen, but a fridge, toaster and kettle mean the breakfast supplied is easy to prepare when you're ready.
The orange juice was the best orange juice I've had in 3 years, and I know my orange juice.
Before we left we went up to the house to thank Kirstin for the wonderful experience and she invited us in for a cup of tea, and a wee nosy around her house. We ended up staying for over an hour chatting like old friends. She is very welcoming and we are glad we got to meet her properly.
This property is highly recommended, and we would very happily stay again if it's available next time we are in Wellington.
Thanks Kirstin and Alan! We are so glad we chose your place for our weekend together in Wellington. Keep up the great work.
