Jo and René are excellent hosts. They were away on holiday when we arrived, but provided ample instructions and set us up with breakfast makings for our first morning in Wellington.
The apartment is conveniently located: a 15-minute drive to the airport and a 5-minute walk to Island Bay beach, Shorland Park and playground, and bus connections to the Central Business District. The two bedrooms comfortably sleep four and are stocked with games to amuse children of various ages.
The apartment is immaculate. The kitchenette (microwave, two-burner hot plate, toaster, electric kettle) is well-equipped for breakfast and lunch preparation. There are heaters in the bedrooms and living/dining room. Because it is on the ground floor and so close to the water, it can feel a bit damp during Wellington’s rainy days. Access to a washing machine and clothes drying racks is provided.
We very much enjoyed our stay, and will try to book again on our next visit to Wellington!
