On our trip through whole NZ we arrived by Interislander in Wellington and found a comfortable stay with very nice hosts at Joan and Howard's home. As we were four persons we used the main bedroom as well as the "outside"-room, both already warm and cozy. Due to electrical blankets for all beds the night was relaxing, and it was very quiet as well.
In the morning we got a complete continental breakfast and felt sorry to leave after just one night.
The accommodation is located very well, as it was just a few minutes by car from the port, and Brooklyn serves with a lot of different restaurants.
When coming back to Wellington we would return to Joan and Howard!
