Very nice, traditional NZ accommodation about a 20 minute walk from pubs, restaurants and beaches. Lovely and quiet. Accommodation itself was tidy, clean and comfortable. We were here in winter and the only heating was provided by a log burner. This was a bit of a culture shock to us having never used one, but in actual fact was fine. We weren't spending much time in the place so we lit it every morning for a couple of hours and occasionally in the evenings. It warmed the place very quickly. Two lovely spacious bathrooms and bedrooms and a bunk room which we never used. Only downside for us was a lack of storage space for clothes so lived out of a suitcase during our stay. It's about 2 miles from train station into Wellington so taxi ride to and from station if going into the city. This is no reflection on Heidi or the accommodation but local taxis are unreliable and will pick anyone up even if you've booked it. This can be very inconvenient if you catch last train back as we did. We were stranded several times at the station.
