Wadestown is perched high above the port, a tranquil steep-sided suburb, and John and Julia's is within easy striking distance of the city below. Parking up their driveway is very tight, but it is do-able . We chose to leave the car behind when we went into Wellington, and either caught bus #14 from the corner of Sefton Road, or walked down the hill into Thorndon (no question, we always caught the bus back up the hill). The flat is light and comfortable with lots of fresh air and birdsong outside. There's plenty of room inside. You can't cook a meal in the kitchen, but Julia leaves goodies for breakfast (fruit, cereal, yoghurt etc) and there's a Nespresso machine too. We stayed 3 nights and enjoyed the place very much.
