We had a delightful stay in Howard and Joan's lovely home. Our party of three booked both rooms, and both were very comfortable and attractive with good wifi (and even very soft robes!). The front room faces the quiet street and has a nice view of the city (and sunrise, if you open the very effective blinds); the separate studio room is absolutely quiet, off a beautiful porch. The three of us had the two downstairs bathroom facilities (one with a bathtub and shower, one with sink and toilet) to ourselves, and that worked out very well. Both mornings we found an abundant, tasty breakfast laid out for us, with fresh and preserved fruit, yogurt, granola, good bread with several spreads, and the all-important plunger pot with good coffee, They were happy to have us cook as well, and the kitchen is beautiful and very well stocked. Above all, Joan and Howard are delightful hosts, welcoming, great fun to talk with, very good humored, and thoroughly helpful. Their assistance really made it possible for us to make the most of our short time in Wellington. The house is in a pleasant, quiet neighborhood. The walk from the CBD might be a bit steep for some, but it can be made through a lovely and safe park; we took a cab after a late night at the Te Papa Museum and it came to a very reasonable $18. We highly recommend staying at their home when you'e exploring this marvelous city.
