Great location for the whole region. Petone is a a great spot with some very good cafes and restaurants. Really easy to get into Wellington from here by car or train and really easy to get out and about without the need to go into Wellington. Near to supermarkets if you want to eat at home and kitchen is fully stocked. Pizza oven for the adventurous. Emma is a great tour guide and helper with planning trips etc and the house was spotless when we arrived and plenty of towels bedding etc.
