We had a wonderful stay at Amanda’s house. She’s a wonderful host and the house is well outfitted. We stayed with a toddler, and heeded other reviews so brought a stairgate with us. I would recommend anyone with mobile babies do the same. The location is incredible (5 mins to the Botanical Gardens, brisk 10 mins to Lambton Quay), and although Ascot St is very steep, the house is accessible via Tinakori Rd so there’s no real need to go that way.
