Wayne is a conscientious and generous host. We were very comfortable and had everything we needed for a 4 night stay. The Complimentary coffee and pastries with friendly banter at Wayne and Lizzie’s nearby cafe was a highlight. We were travelling without a car. We walked downhill to the botanic gardens and into the CBD.
Once we mastered the Metlink app for the buses, the convenience of this spot was magnified. The bus stop was a 1 minute walk with the bus providing easy access to the Wellington Bus Station for the Airport Bus and a 2 minute walk to the railway station for the Northern Scenic train . Both of these, are a 1-2 minute walk to the Waterloo Back packers for reasonably priced, luggage storage. As well, if one follows Northland road around and past the Indian restaurant , there is a small grocery store and other eateries. We would be very happy to stay again .
