What a fantastic place to stay! Both Joan and Howard were very welcoming and the location was perfect. We were in Wellington to celebrate my mother's 50th and were easily able to travel into central Wellington for activities as well as walk around the corner to the local Brooklyn shops. The weather wasn't very good for walking so we mainly drove everywhere but had it been dry we could have easily got around on foot or by bus. The house is beautiful with everything provided that you may need; bath robes, magazines, books, guide books and breakfast provided in the morning was the icing on the cake!
