David’s place is centrally located, charming, comfortable, clean, and boasts a very nice view. What’s more, David himself is extremely communicative and accommodating. We had a very late check-in, and he was incredibly kind about it. 10/10 experience.
My only warning for future guests: if you’re new to driving in New Zealand — or Wellington — the roads getting up to his place can be a tad scary. They’re very narrow and winding, with cars parked all along the sides, so that half the time you need to drive in the middle of the road — even when you can’t see around the corner to know if traffic is coming. This, of course, isn’t David’s fault — and the payoff is an INCREDIBLE view up at the top of Mt. Victoria! But I would not advise arriving at night. If you’ve got daylight and patience, it’s all good.
