The reviews really weren’t joking about the 134 steps. Although with how they level out at points I think I counted 202 from street to the front door. Each one worth it though. A good way to keep fit while staying. Max was a brilliant host. He picked me up upon arrival in Wellington and his tenant dropped me to the airport when I left. They both made me feel very welcome in the house and in Wellington. The view across the bay is spectacular and Nina (Max’s dog) made for lovely company too! Just out the back door is a route directly up to the top of Mount Vic. Strongly recommend on a dry day! The place is only a 10 min walk to Courtenay Place and even less to the nearest supermarket. Would recommend! 10/10
