Vivienne's place in Island Bay is wonderful. Located within easy walking distance to the local shops and cafes and short taxi/uber rides into the city. The house and gardens are a peaceful sanctuary that we used as a base to explore Wellington and to relax at the end of the day. Great kitchen set up for meal prep and separate dining for group dinners. The guest main bedrooms are spacious and the loft bed arrangement was just perfect for the three young people travelling in our group of five. An interesting range of reading books was a nice bonus. Definitely recommend Vivienne's place.
