Staying with Joyce and her family, was exactly what I needed - friendly, quiet, relaxed and on some days they even offered dinner with awesome food. Joyce is an excellent cook and has a good feeling for openness and privacy. She is very considerate and you feel comfortable to ask for help or information or to have a chat. The breakfast was descent with the best muesli I ever had and great coffee. The room is cosy, clean, has a nice view, a lot of light and is absolutely quiet. The house is in a charming area with walking distance to the CBD, the waterfront and very close to Victoria University. Also hiking tracks are very close. I stayed here for two weeks and if I ever come back to Wellington, this will be my place of choice.
