I had a wonderful stay at Marie and Owen's home in the lovely neighborhood of Mount Victoria, a very short walk to great restaurants and shops, the waterfront at Oriental Bay and the lookout of Mt Victoria park. Marie and Owen had great recommendations of things to do in town, and when the weather was inclement, I was happy to cozy up in the light-filled upstairs lounge of their house reading books. It's a great place to call home away from home!
