The house is close to the sea with a view from its window across to the far side of Wellington Harbour. We were travelling without a car at this stage of our NZ adventure. We arrived by train and then bus. Richard came to get us and saved a 20 minute walk. We enjoyed not only their lovely house, tea, cheese cake, world-travelled knowledge, wit and humour , but also their added kindness in taking us to restaurants and even the airport.
In short - excellent hosts.
