Ken is one of the most warmhearted people we have ever met in New Zealand. He gave us a map of Wellington and a timetable of bus 3, and explained to us how to get to some places very patiently. We followed his suggestions and bought the day pass which saved us money and a lot of trouble. He is always there should you need anything. His house is very clean, tidy, well-decorated with all the facilities you could ever ask for. The bathroom has a fantastic view. Bed is comfy and house is kept warm. You won't be disappointed.
