Karen's is a nice quiet spot well situated in between Wellington and the Hutt. It is well set up for breakfast and drinks and is spotless. I stayed here with my 87year old mum and Karen had very kindly thought of possible accessibility issues for mum, which we found we didn't need as Karen had given us the correct information initially. We enjoyed our stay here. Karen was a great host- available and very happy to answer any questions we had about the location etc. I'd recommend you have a car to stay here, but that said, Petone station is walking distance.
