Antony’s place has a superb view of Wellington harbor. The room is just a bedroom/bathroom, but they were generous about sharing their living room/kitchen and it was great to talk with them about their extensive world travels. I didn’t do any actual cooking, so I can’t say if they would be comfortable with that.
The house is located well above town, so you’ll get your steps in if on foot, as I was. Uber to the CBD is about NZ 8.00. Lots of great restaurants a short cab ride or a brisk walk away.
