Brian's place has spectacular views that are better than television - we all stared and stared and thoroughly loved looking at the weather and the sea and the planes. As we arrived exhausted and in need of recuperation, we spent a lot more time at the house than expected and really loved it. It is a bit outside of Wellington, which suited us - the view makes it worthwhile to drive the ten minutes into town and we found a great little fish and chip shop only a few minutes away, and enjoyed runs along the coast. Our children appreciated the books and liked all of the art on the walls!
