My stay at John's 'beach house' was excellent. I really enjoyed the space and found it relaxing and peaceful even though it sits on a thoroughfare. The street parking was easy, with multiple options and the street is superwide, which always helps when doing a uturn, or maneuvering. Location to local amenities is a short level stroll, with a great selection of eateries and restaurants. A choice of supermarkets was another bonus.
Sitting opposite the beach, an awesome view of the surrounding hills and harbour was an additional bonus and didn't disappoint.
Access to and from the location is easy as Petone sits in the cradle of wellington. around 12-15 minutes drive will get you to the city centre. Petone is a charming area with a mix of colonial villas, bungalows and more contemporary houses. the area is flat, great for the avid walker or cyclist.
if shopping malls are your thing then a 5 minute drive will take you to the nearest one.
John's instructions for access were excellent and were sent to me in my welcome message. the additional folder with instructions and passwords for the wifi was simple as well. I was impressed with the amenity and the selection of accoutrements that were provided. milk in the fridge after a long day, selection of teas and coffees, and a loaf of bread and spreads was a great surprise and very welcome. I cannot think of anything else I could have possibly need here. I travel to wellington two to four times a year, so now I've discovered this place and providing it is available, i will look to stay here again. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay and a big thank you John. This is about as good as it gets. if I could give more than five stars I would. Your stay here will not disappoint.
All the best to you all. Andrew
