Angie was the ideal host. The listing was exactly as described. It was charming, clinically clean and thoroughly well equipped. Her accommodation is a self-contained unit in front of her family home consisting of a double bedroom, kitchen/sitting/sleeping area, bathroom and a fairly substantial covered and enclosed decking area which would be suitable for sleeping in except on the coldest night. The grounds extend from the front gate to the top of the mountain at the rear on which she and her husband run a "hobby" farm with horses, sheep, hens etc.
Everything seems brand new. The kitchen area had a walk in cupboard with everything you need. She supplied a very well filled fruit bowl, Ferrero Roche, bottles of milk, tea, coffee etc.
The bed linen was absolutely pristine and her attention to cleanliness is forensic.
Its a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of nearby Wellington.
Angie willingly spent a couple of hours in conversation with us - which we thoroughly enjoyed. She was able to tell us all about Wellington and gave us many useful tips.
To crown it all, her price is very reasonable indeed.
