“I found this to be a brilliant place to stay in Wellington, especially given its proximity to the ferry and the Botanic Gardens. The location makes it a practical base for exploring, and the in-house dining and nearby options provide plenty of choices. It's unpretentious, but clean and friendly, and the free parking is a real plus.”
