Ruth is a gracious host and made me feel right at home in her lovely recently renovated home. I worked remote for 3 days while at her place and it was well set up with desk, fast wifi, coffee and very comfy bed. Public transit was easily found nearby at Houghton Bay and it was a pleasant 7km walk to Wellington airport along the south coast. There is a great little coffee shop called The Grocers Shed just 1km walk along the coast at Island bay.
