We were made to feel very welcome in Joan and Howard's lovely home and we both really enjoyed their company. Howard was very helpful on things to do and there was literature and maps for us to use. The facilities for our use and their layout made it feel very homely. There is a nice walk through Central Park to get to the city for restaurants and sightseeing but there are shops and a choice of restaurants 5 minutes away in the Village. A great place from which to explore beautiful Wellington and fantastic hosts.
