We stayed at one of the City Cottages for 19 nights. Our stay was incredible. Could not have asked for better accommodations or location. The cottage is situated at the north end of Cuba Street on a small lane with other historic cottages. Cuba Street has a great vibe with fantastic restaurants, bars, markets and buskers. You can walk to the museums, Beehive, and the cable car to the botanical gardens. We had a car for other sites, but public transport appears to be available everywhere.
The cottage is beautifully restored with all of the modern conveniences. It was very clean and was cleaned and provided with fresh commercially cleaned linens each week. It felt like we were in a luxury hotel. The small details made our stay so enjoyable. The kitchen has all you will need - including a microwave, dishwasher, hob, washer/dryer, plenty of glasses and flatware. The knives are sharp, too. The bathroom is modern and has great water pressure and a towel warmer. The queen bed was very comfortable.
We had the pleasure of meeting Jeff & Dean and enjoyed our time with them so much. Dean anticipated our needs and brought us a garment rack, extra towels and pillows. And, he refilled the cookie jar!!
This truly has to be the best place to stay in Wellington.
