We loved our stay with Julian and Judit. We stayed in the back annexe for three nights with three people. The room was perfect! They thought of everything - extra blankets, electric blanket, tea, coffee and even breakfast! They were super helpful and very knowledgeable about Wellington. The bus is easy to get into town but if I were you I'd take Julian's advice and walk through the botanic gardens. Great way to start the trip. The house is beautiful and we'd come back again in a heartbeat.
