The property was located within walking distance of where I was working in central wellington but within my price budget. Bed was very comfortable and air conditioning if I needed it. The room had everything I could have needed for a longer stay - washing machine etc and had disabled facilities as well in the event I needed them. Plenty of room and entertainment on screen. The hosts were friendly but not pushy. Overall I can't fault it.

A good location to walk around and see the sights. Rooms clean and had everything you needed. Parking is limited and you need to book and pay for a spot if you have a car. Very handy location if you are using Ferries. Good pubs and eateries nearby.
