If I could give my stay at Janey's 6 stars I would. We had a really great time. Having just arrived into Wellington, we stayed with Janey for close to 2 weeks while we waited for our long term accommodation to become ready. During that time Janey couldn't have made us feel any more welcome. She introduced us to people, made recommendations for food, drink, coffee, and even a jeweller's when I needed my watch strap fixed. She truly is a font of local knowledge, and is really great for a chat too. She's led a fascinating life and is full of whimsical and interesting stories.
Her house is gorgeous too, and you can feel the history in every room. The garden is beautiful and well sheltered, so even when the city is being hammered with winds, it's nice and calm at Janey's.
Janey was a caterer previously, and you can feel it in her cooking. The breakfasts were fabulous and I came away with quite a few tips too (brown sugar on grilled tomatoes, who knew?)
Overall a great stay, she was brilliant and accommodating and we're already planning to meet up with her in a few weeks for dinner, once we've settled in to our new place.
