We were passing through Wellington en route to the South Island and wanted somewhere to stay for one night. Christophe's place totally fitted the bill. We were able to park our car and forget about it during our stay which was very important in the busy city of Wellington. The house is central but it is a steep incline to the city centre - not so easy for those with mobility problems. But it was easy to get a taxi for the return journey. We had a very pleasant chat with Christophe and his partner after supper in the city and were perfectly positioned to catch the ferry to Picton the following morning.
