Very happy with my stay at Nicola's cottage! It was a nice change of pace from staying in hotels during my visit to Wellington, I was able to feel much more at home. The home was cute and plenty spacious for me, the bed was very comfortable, and the back patio was an amazing place to spend the evenings reading with a glass of wine! The location was absolutely perfect. Just outside of the city, only a 10 minute walk to the train station and the stop was only one away from the Wellington city station. Very enjoyable to get a bit out of the city but still be in a popular area. The house is on a street right between the beach and the main street in Petone for shopping and eating - couldn't be in a better spot. Very walkable neighborhood, I went on trails all along the water, walked to nearby parks, and to local shops. Even my local colleagues thought I found such a great spot - and it was quite affordable, especially in comparison to other places in the Wellington area. You'll have everything you need for your stay (even found a universal adapter to charge my devices - THANK YOU!). Nicola is very responsive and approved an extra night stay for me within minutes. This place is fantastic - book it if you're lucky enough to grab available dates.
