Read More...The modern furnished house lies high above the city of Wellington. The view out of the living room window alone is pure joy. Having a bus stop almost at one's doorstep makes it easy to experience the capital of New Zealand. The location of the house makes it possible to untertake many different hikes in the vicinity, further inland and to the coastal area. We are looking forward to seeing you here in Germany. Many thanks to you that you allowed our daughter Mirjam to stay together with us at your place for some days.

Everything was perfect from the fabulous view to the beautiful furnishings and Art work and the fantastic option to catch a bus right outside the door to central Wellington . Paul and Carol were really friendly hosts and this was the perfect setting to experience wellington and it's surrounds.

Read More...Béatrice et Paul nous ont réservé un accueil des plus chaleureux. La journée passée avec leurs amis dans une ville voisine fut un très grand moment de notre séjour. Paul nous a donné de très bons conseils, qui ce sont avérés très utiles pour notre périple dans l'île sud. La maison de Béatrice et Paul se trouve le très tranquille quartier de Kandalah, en surplomb de la baie de Wellington, une des villes les plus cool du monde. Les vignobles de Martinborough sont à une heure de voiture. Nous avons adoré NAPIER et son art déco district magnifique. Si vous êtes en forme, effectuez la traversée du Parc de Tongarino en empruntant le Tongarino Alpine Crossing. Bref un séjour inoubliable dans le sud de l'île nord.
