If you're looking for a warm and welcoming place to stay in Wellington that's close to Zealandia, cable car, & Botanic Gardens, then consider Linda's place. Her home is less than 20 min walk to Zealandia, and you can easily hop on a bus to the city or walk there if you prefer a bit of exercise. Her home overlooks the valley, so you can sit and enjoy the views from her dining table or balcony. Linda is a great host & long-time Wellington resident, so she has lots of suggestions on sights to see during your visit. I highly recommend this bnb.
