Karl's place is a savvy choice when in the Hutt Valley. For starters, it's just down the street from the short but stunning Birchville Dam hike which also features a new swing bridge. Secondly, the electrical plugs and USB locations are at head level on the wall by the bed, easy to access. None of this battling to find plugs behind the bed or anything else. Karl is a super nice guy and stopped by to offer us milk. Pretty slick shower too. 10 minutes or so to the supermarket and downtown Upper Hutt. Would stay here again.
