All in all a great experience, clear communication at all stages of booking and checking in . A small very tidy modern unit which suited our week long stay in Wellington. Handy to all services such as Queensgate Mall and bus and train station. Only a few minutes from Petone dinning options and experiences in Jacksons Street. On street parking was never a problem. Would certainly recommend and use this unit again.
