For us Oliver’s place was ideal. Located in a quiet area of central Wellington, it was a few minutes walk to downtown, restaurants, a supermarket, the Te Papa museum, the beginning of the walk up Mt Victoria, … . Within 10 minutes or so walking was the Cable Car that takes you to the Botanical Gardens - we’ll worth visiting - and a reasonably but good quality restaurant. Leaving from the top of the Cable Car ride is a free shuttle bus that takes you to a nature preserve, ZEALANDIA - another must to visit. Oliver’s apartment, being on the 8th, the top, floor allowed great views of parts of Wellington and some it’s surrounding hills. Being on the top floor the unit can get quite warm with the afternoon sun, but when night falls, so does the temperature in the unit.
