It was lovely staying with Christine and John, unfortunately it was only for one night. They were really helpful with advice on what to do in Wellington and even along my onward journey to Rotorua.
The private room is located at the lower floor of their place with its own bathroom just outside the room.
The bedroom is very cozy and spacious, fitting easily the comfy queen size bed and the sofa. The view from the large windows is covered with trees which makes it feel secluded. The room has access to the terrace/balcony as well.
Driving up from the city centre/ferry terminal was quite steep but the place had its own parking spot that I could use so there wasn't a need for (steep) on-street parking :)
On foot the way down to the Oriental Bay wasn't more than 20min. On the way back the cable car costs around $4 and can take you within walking distance from Christine's and John's house.
