Aude's home is beautiful! It's about a 10 minute taxi ride from the centre of Wellington which costs around $24, but definitely nice to be away from the madness of the city. Karori has a couple of great bars that serve food and there are plenty of takeaways if you choose to stay in. Note that currently there is no TV in the room so have books or music to keep you entertained. The bed is very comfortable and Aude provided extra blankets and duvets in case we were cold. The shower was lovely and powerful. We walked to the local town on our first night and had dinner at the pickle jar which was lovely. Aude offered to pick us up which was lovely bit we declined as we weren't sure how long we were going to be. It's a steep walk home but only about 10 mins so manageable. All in all a lovely comfortable stay and would highly recommend
