The cottage is great if you want to spend a short time exploring Wellington but is a good 20-30 min walk to the main city centre mainly because of the steep hills and steps. It's super close to the top of the cable car which is handy but can because expensive if you're doing that every day and on a budget. Brenda and her husband met us on arrival and were brilliant hosts. Everything was clean and comfortable and they kindly left us some milk in the fridge.
