We were blown away by Anna’s Tui House. This place is a real gem! From downtown Welly, it’s an easy 20-25 minutes out of town and up a hill, with beautiful views out over the harbour along the way. Our street parking was super convenient and felt totally safe. You do have to wander down a few dozen steps, but it’s totally worth it. They lead to a quiet, lush, green sanctuary of native trees and singing birds, which you gaze upon from the bedroom window. The place itself has a small half-kitchen (not quite fully appointed but perfectly adequate for a traveler), complete with fridge, sink, microwave, pantry, and even a washing machine. The main room is studio-style with large bed, couch, dining table, and ample hooks and storage. Anna has decorated with beautiful art, fluffy pillows, and provided more snacks than we could hope to eat! She absolutely went above and beyond what most hosts (including ourselves) provide. If we were in town longer, we would have extended our stay. Cheers!
