We loved this place! The building is old and charming, but fantastically and beautifully maintained. Its very spacious inside, with three large bedrooms, a cavernous living / dining space, and the biggest kitchen of any place we stayed in NZ. The kitchen is fully modernized and thoughtfully outfitted. Its also the only place we stayed that had a clothes washer, dryer, AND a dishwasher. So convenient.
Its just a block away from the many shops along the strip in Petone, but enough that it was plenty quiet. Similarly Petone is far enough from downtown Wellington to be more relaxed and less harried but still easy to zip down there for Wellington attractions. Absolutely one of our favorite stays.
