A massive thank you to Francesca and Dolf for hosting us in their lovely home in Bay of Islands! We were made to feel very welcome and comfortable. Francesca and Dolf are very interesting people with a breadth of experience of life in Wellington and abroad, we really enjoyed their company. The room we stayed in has a comfortable double bed with a door out onto a rear patio area. We ate breakfast with our hosts which is a great way to get to know one another and to learn about things to do in Wellington. The house has a wonderful terraced garden with stunning views of the bay. There is a frequent bus service into the city, the end of bus line 1 starts 5 minutes away from the home, it goes e wry 15 mins or so and takes about 25 minutes into the centre. We were really happy to stay here and will definitely be back in the future!
