A beautiful, warm and comfortable place to stay, with welcoming hosts. It's in a peaceful, sunny location with a lovely outlook. There are lots of native birds in the surrounding native gardens and it's very pleasant to sit in the sunny lounge and watch them. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking. Be sure to check out the bookcase upstairs for great books about local history and activities. We were working for a couple of days of our stay and found the railway station easy to access for travel into Wellington city. It is a bit of a walk but a very quick drive. We were travelling in an electric vehicle and there is a 25kW EV charger nearby at the Mana New World, so it's easy to top up while shopping for groceries or taking a stroll around Ngatitoa Domain. We loved our stay at Donna and Warwick's place and highly recommend it to other visitors to the area.
