This is a fantastic place to stay for a night or two. The views are every bit as spectacular as the descriptions suggest and we absolutely loved sitting at the top of the lighthouse watching the sea. We did the Southern Walkway into the city which took about 4 hours and is a great way to get to know the area. I probably would suggest 1 or 2 nights are ideal as cooking facilities are limited and there are not many places to eat locally, but for a 1 or 2 night stay in Wellington I think you would be hard pressed to find anything better.
