This was my third trip to NZ but my first to the North Island. I came to NZ to trail run and chose Wellington as my base. David's spot is in a spectacular location (Mount Victoria) which is close to many great 'city' trail runs, an easy spot to get away to all regional parks as well as it is incredibly quiet. The views are stunning. The spot is clean, efficient, very well located....In addition, as an endurance runner, I cooked there each morning and night and found all amenities very good for a week away from home (there is a great organic shop nearby "Common sense organics" which is brilliant). I met David once and he is, as most Kiwis, charming, kind and not fussy whatsoever.
