Janine is an understanding, accommodating host and was a pleasure to deal with. Her house made a lovely home away from home, super comfortable and clean, with a fantastic deck that overlooks the garden, bathed in sun and sheltered from Wellington's winds.
The house is about a 10-minute walk from the nearest bus stop, up a hill, and there are a few steps leading up to the front door - so probably not ideal for anyone with walking problems.
The nearest shopping centre, Newtown, is reasonably close and convenient, with a number of interesting restaurants and shops. Don't miss Peoples for the best coffee in Wellington. Wellington Zoo is just around the corner too.
We had a great stay in Janine's house (with her adorable cat) and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone.
