I've had such a wonderful time in Wellington mostly because I was staying at Donna and Chris's townhouse during a 4-day holiday to discover the city. They have been so welcoming, easy-going and full of good advice, from the moment I stepped into their house at 9pm on the first night. Donna gave me a little tour explaining all there is to know about the amenities, my private room and private bathroom both located on the ground floor. Every morning they set a light breakfast for me in their kitchen upstairs and they were always happy to talk with me and give me very useful advice :) The location is ideal (if you don't mind a bit of city noise), so close to the town centre, literally at the end of Courtney Place towards Mt Victoria. I will recommend it to anyone wanting to wander Windy Welly for a few days and to stay with greatly accommodating hosts (and their cute little dog Lily) that will make your stay very enjoyable !
