We loved Wellington and found Shelley's place very comfortable (clean and nice touches like a bowl full of fruit) and very convenient (we found a trail through a lovely park up and over the hill to the downtown area a fine moderately challenging walk if you have good walking shoes -- the view of the city in either direction is amazing -- and the #2 bus from downtown brings you about 50 steps from the front door). It's also a very short cab ride to the airport.
