Penelope and her family were AMAZING hosts! I only stayed there for two nights but during those days they made both my puppy and I feel super welcomed and comfortable at all times! My puppy has special needs and despite her condition, they still received her with open arms and hearts. I believe this particular point speaks volumes about the heart of this family. Inspiring :)

As for the place, the house is awesome, comfortable, cosy, and super well located in beautiful Lower Hutt. A couple of blocks away from the Hutt river walkway and minutes away from the Woburn train station if you need to get into town. Lots of stores around if you need groceries. I had the luck to share a dinner with Penelope, Richard, and Ruby and had a wonderful time, thoughtful conversations, and fun games!

I'm hoping I'll have another meeting in Wellington at some point to go back and catch up with Penelope, Richard, and Ruby :)

Absolutely recommend staying here!
