Quinnjin's place is a warm, friendly place nestled near the Mediterranean Foods shop in Newtown where you can enjoy a laid back getaway and tons of space! Fair warning, the mattress is VERY firm but other than that the room is cozy and I found the heater to be the perfect solution to the chilly September evenings. Special touches include the projector screen and vinyl records in the living room, and the casual but friendly atmosphere as friends come and go.
Walking into the city center of Wellington takes a little over 30 minutes and there are some great bus routes that go east towards Miramar or back into town. Plenty of space in the kitchen for your stuff and I never had an issue sharing the bathroom when I needed to.
