We were looking for a place suitable for us and our 2 small children, and this was ideal. On the train or bus it is only 15-20 minutes from central Wellington. Khandallah Village has everything you might need on a day to day basis and is only 10 minutes away on foot. Also good parks and playing fields - at least 2 - within walking distance.
Great back yard and toys for kids to play in, with or without supervision.
Andrew and Julia proved to be very good hosts, and we felt very much at home in their flat. They were easily reachable and available to answer any questions we had.
