Brians Place was a really lovely space, open and cozy with an amazing view and activity to watch out the beautiful big windows. We enjoyed cooking in the well appointed kitchen and just being in the apartment. Brian gave us accurate descriptions and good advice about public transport beforehand. We didn’t actually meet Brian while there, but it was clear we could connect with him if needed. There’s a great walk over the hill not far from from Brian’s. Beautiful bush and excellent view at the top. A friendly supermarket at Island Bend. Public transport around Wellington is good and helpful overall.
We’d definitely stay again for longer.
(A tip if catching the bus to the ferry. Be sure to know which ferry you are catching and the name of it. Buses automatically take travellers to the bigger one and it’s a tricky walk to the other when not in the know...all part of the adventure).
