As we were running late for our arrival and our hosts had gone out, they had organized an easy key pick-up possibility for us. We did meet Christine's husband John later that evening, though, and had a very nice and interesting conversation with him. We met Christine during breakfast the next morning. Just like John, Christine is a very friendly person and easy to talk to.
The room is neat and tidy with a beautiful view over the slopes of Wellington. It is very quiet which guarantees a good night's sleep. Their home is cosy and beautifully decorated. It is built on the slope of one of Wellington's hills, so it has 4 levels connected by stairs (no problem at all for us, but maybe inconvenient for elderly people). Our guest room was at the bottom with an ensuite bathroom and terrace. Unfortunately, we only spent one night in Wellington but we really enjoyed staying with Christine and John.
