Owen's place truly is the home away from home. While it is not the Ritz, it doesn't need to be. Located only 15 minutes drive from the city center and on the top of a hill, this place is in a beautiful location that the most incredible views over Wellington. We drove down from Auckland and arrived late in the evening but Owen was so lovely when he met us and welcomed us in. He had already turned on the heat pumps and electric blankets so it was nice and cosy. This place is also a convenient location for public transport if you do not have a car with you. For anyone looking for a homely getaway on the outskirts of Wellington CBD I would absolutely recommend Owen's.
