Kelburn is a lovely suburb of Wellington. and the apartment is spacious, clean and nicely decorated. The cable car to the CBD is a 10-15 min walk from the apartment, so you can avoid the hassle of driving and parking in the CBD when visiting the waterfront and Te Papa Museum. The Kelburn Pub id s good place for dinner. I recommend the Great War Exhibition - take the tour. If you plan to go to Stansborough Mill for LOTR, skip it, but it does have very nice woven woolen goods.
