Grant and Jeanette are amazing hosts. Myself and a friend stayed with them for 5 1/2 months while we student taught in New Zealand. We had our own space upstairs including two rooms, a bathroom and a spot for our food which also had a mini fridge and microwave. Their home is overall beautiful, very welcoming and in a great area. Their place is located near the train station, so you can easily make your way into Wellington. Since we were so far away from home, they did a great job welcoming us in and making us feel like we had a home away from home. We enjoyed sitting down and getting to know Grant and Jeanette, they are very easy to get along with. Also, Grant and Jeanette have traveling experience and they know the ins and outs of New Zealand. They were always willing to provide us with tips and ideas when it came to traveling. We would recommend their place to anyone who will be staying in the Lower Hutt area and hopefully in the future we are able to come back and visit.
