Silke's place was pleasant 4 k walk or 15 minute bus ride from the hospital, so for me, location was perfect. When I took one night out in middle of the stay, Silke facilitated me leaving the bulk of my luggage in her room so I could travel light. (The same bus continued on past the hospital and right into Wellington city so couldn't have been more convenient.) The house is sun-filled, cosy, warm and with views you would never tire of, and Silke even offered to take me to the local market for fresh veges! I really rate this place and would definitely return.
