We really enjoyed our stay at Paul and Karen's place, superb location just below the Mount Victoria lookout, with awesome views across Evans Bay out to the airport and Lyall Bay. Spectacular watching the planes landing and taking off, the ferries coming and going, the snow dusting on the hills opposite, and the wild surf and crazy windsurfers at the southern heads. Lots to watch from the window or the comfort of your bed - definitely the "balcony of Wellington"! The apartment was in immaculate condition, well appointed (except for the kitchen sink yet to go in), lovely decor, comfortable bed, excellent shower, and well heated which was great given the cold snap while we were there. The buses are handy Monday to Friday's, and Ubering in the weekend was very easy and relatively inexpensive getting around the very compact central city. Also handy to the local Hataitai village where we had a spectacular meal at the Nakhon Thai (highly recommended, Licensed and BYO so you can grab some wine from the 4 Square on the corner if you want to! ;-)). Enjoyed catching up with Paul after check-in, he made sure we had everything we needed, and then totally respected our privacy so we could get on and do our own thing which was much appreciated. We would not hesitate to recommend to others and we are definitely addicted to the views and location!
