Caroline's place is brilliantly located a stone's throw from the railway station and the excellent city bus services. And if you are travelling by plane it's also very near the drop-off/pick-up points for the Airport Flyer bus. My visit was for a conference held at Victoria University's Kelburn campus which is located above the CBD up a very steep hill. Staying at Caroline's I was able to get a bus virtually door-to-door whereas many other attendees had to depend on taxis else tackle the steep climb from the CBD on foot. Caroline's apartment is also very close to Parliament, the National Archives and the National Library. And it's a flat walk along the vibrant revitalised Wellington waterfront to the wonderful Te Papa museum of New Zealand. Else you can take the bus there and explore Te Aro as well.
