Well I wondered if we would like Kelburn , I thought that being up the hill may prove a challenge. Actually after staying at Lavender Cottage we realised its the perfect place to stay to visit Wellington. A 10 minute virtually level walk to the cable car and a 5 minute maximum ride and you were in the heart of the city. You didn't have to worry about parking , how much you drank or not knowing the area. This to us was the most amazing thing that we never anticipated. The cottage is very tastefully decorated with artistic touches everywhere. The coffee and other items provided are all top quality and the towels are Luxurious. Its a very relaxing and calming space - we both got to read and just relax when we wanted. Then off to the bright lights of the harbour or Cuba street...
This is definitely one of our top places to stay.
