We can't say enough good things about the place or the host, Paul!
GPS steered us wrong, but without us asking, he was kind enough to walk up to find and direct us and continued to be very welcoming, helpful and fun to talk with.
The apartment is brand new and designed and built by the owner just for this purpose - and it shows. Paul thought of every detail. And the view out the large window! It's gorgeous.
The space is clean, priced really well and perfectly located for your stay in Wellington.
Bonuses: again: that view!, wifi, off-street parking, a quick walk to the scenic overlook, breakfast items, very clean, new and built to earthquake standards so it might be the safest place on the island (including the lit path to the apartment) - and very comfortable too from the bed to the layout and amenities.
We wish we could have stayed longer and would highly recommend you book right away as this place isn't likely to be open often.
(Incidentally, Paul offered great directions to his place - we should have had them handy and not relied on GPS. He also includes a guidebook of local recommendations from grocery market to restaurants as well as tourist attractions and maps. Very helpful.)
