We could not have found a nicer place to stay in Wellington. This quiet, comfortable flat is perched on a hillside with breathtaking views of the city and harbour. What a sight to wake up to every morning and come back to every evening! The location is stunning. A short walk downhill takes you to the hip little high street of Kelburn Village. Another half hour walk downhill takes you to the central business district. The Botanic Garden and Zealandia are both close by. Wellington owes much of its exceptional beauty to its hills. This neighbourhood is a good example, with winding narrow streets, high ridges and steep ravines linked by countless public walking paths and staircases. Unlike the flatter central city, this area is like your own secret garden. You will never run out of narrow leafy paths to explore. And you will definitely get your exercise! What better place to rest after a long climb than Kate's beautiful apartment, which is charming, functional, modern, tastefully decorated, and complete with some kiwi literary classics on the bookshelf (including Keri Hulme's masterpiece The Bone People, which I was tempted to borrow). Kate lives upstairs and is the ideal host: friendly, helpful and prompt. This place is absolutely worth the climb up from the street.
