Kate is a wonderful host. She is very welcoming and ready to help with ideas for things to do in Wellington. A gorgeous view makes the several steps up to her home well worth it. Kate does a great job of supplying the little things: Kleenex, plenty of bath and kitchen linens, coffee, laundry soap, etc, even muesli and milk!!!. This made our stay much easier at the start. Kate's place is centrally located with easy access to neighborhood groceries, wine shop, brew pub and Indian restaurant. We enjoyed walking to downtown and the Botanical Gardens and then simply taking Uber back up the hill (about $9 NZ). If you're willing to make the trade off with a small climb to the front door, Kate and her place will make it worth your while.
