Helen was a lovely host. She knew we were going to arrive late and not have time to get to the grocery store, so she stocked the fridge with eggs, bacon and other necessities for the first morning, which was very kind and totally unexpected.
The apartment is spacious and has all the amenities you would want. There’s even a patio, picnic table and little yard. It’s located in Karori, which is about a 20-minute bus ride to downtown Wellington. That’s really the only drawback, because there’s nothing much to do in Karori.
