We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Art Stable. Alison, together with her cute dog, Coco, is a gracious host. The space is spotlessly clean, the linen fresh and the cupboards contain everything a family of three could need for a week.

The art on the walls is easy to live with and rewards contemplation - and it's for sale, if you've got too many NZ dollars! Alison does run a gallery, after all.

Ghuznee Street is centrally situated for walking around Wellington and particularly easy for theatres, cafes and live music venues. There's a cab rank on the next street and a bus stop the street after so there's no need to hire a car. I'd imagine parking would be a real pain.

The Art Stable is an ideal location for a Wellington visit. Highly recommended.
