Ken has a very nice home with a fantastic view over Wellington/Karori. It is located on the edge of a sanctuary area and in a quiet, safe neighbourhood. Bus access into town is close and easy (no transfers for central Wellington). On the way in/out, you'll pass the Botanical Gardens and Zealandia - both worth a stop.
Ken is a wonderful host. He is an excellent cook and shared a couple suppers with us. Breakfast was also available each morning. Ken really went out of his way to show us around Wellington, be our personal tour guide through Zealandia, and drive us to the airport. He is fun to converse with about skiing, art, travel, the Wellington region or New Zealand in general, and just about anything else.
Overall a very fun, comfortable and friendly place to stay. We had a great stay and highly recommend Ken's place!
