Lawrence & Lesley Sutherland are truly wonderful host!! I can't say enough good things about them! Lawrence gave me a ride to the bus stop when I had to depart! This was really helpful and I caught the bus in time! The entire upper loft of the house is for the Homestay.com guest. Very, very roomy and comfortable. The view of the ocean just across the street from the second floor is so beautiful and amazing and, if you open the windows, there is a nice sea breeze blowing in. Very clean with all kinds of comfortable chairs and a nice kitchen with a refrigerator. This is easily within walking distance of the CBD and very close to a bus stop that will take you to Wellington CBD in less than an hour. There are all kinds of good restaurants in Petone and a very large grocery store that sells all kinds of wine. You should stay here if you want to see Wellington, because Petone is so beautiful and Wellington is so easy to get to. Also, if you do not have a car, and are arriving at the airport, there is a direct airport to CBD Petone bus that stops only a few blocks from this address. This location is next to a quite street and you can walk all around the area with no fear. I felt very very relaxed walking around the neighborhoods near this house. I highly highly recommend this location. No need to check the other Homestay.com Petone locations, because this is, without any doubt, the BEST place to stay.

Sandy and her husband are super great host!! Gorgeous and cozy very large home with two very friendly dogs and two very friendly cats. Large breakfast included. Bus stop just right next door and another bus stop to the center of Christchurch within 10 minutes walking distance. Beautiful outdoor patio in the backyard. Their home is absolutely immaculate! Highly recommend!
