My daughter and I stayed at Stan and Carol's for three nights. Eastbourne is a very nice suburb, not at all too far out of town, and getting the ferry into the city was an experience in itself (highly recommended!). Stan & Carol both did a lot for us, including a lovely dinner for their very tired guests, driving us places and showing us around Wellington. We'd recommend them for anyone who likes to be made to feel like very much part of the family when staying at a b&b.
