Susan's house is a great place to stay. The area is beautiful and the view from the house over the water is stunning. The family makes you feel at home immediately. They're kind and very willing to share their knowledge of the country and the city with you. Before you know it you're siting down sharing personal stories over a cup of tea and a homemade chocolate cake. And we loved their dog. Probably anyone loves their dog (and the dog is more than willing to return that love;). If you visit Wellington, this is the perfect place to stay.
