We chose Rodney's place because it was between downtown Wellington and Weta Studios. Uber was about NZ$ 20 to each from his place. The airport taxi ride was also NZ $20 for a family of 4 with luggage, even though it was a short trip. Rodney and his place were great. He got back to us quickly when we had questions. His place is clean and stylish. There is a small kitchen with a toaster, kettle, microwave, and small refrigerator on the ground level with tea and coffee. Perfect for a small breakfast or lunch. The only thing we did not expect was some airplane noise in the morning and evening since the place is near the airport. Luckily, the Wellington airport is relatively small and is closed at night, so the noise was not bad.
