This is a fantastic house (and hostess) I would highly recommend - I'd be more than happy to live here permanently. As a Wellingtonian who's lived overseas for most of my adult life, the house and location give visitors a chance to see and experience a great part of life in the area that most visitors never do. The house is beautiful, really comfortably set up and a lovely place to spend time. Wellington has so much to offer, with an abundance and diversity of activities, but this is just a great place to let time drift by without worrying about anything too much. Agree with other reviewers positive practical assessments.
