Great for me and kids to explore Wellington.
Pros:

Space in room was great and kitchen space was good. Pool, spa and sauna were amazing and it was a really good set up with the spa overlooking the pool for comfort for parents while children swim. Location was great for what we were doing and easy to come and go. Staff we interacted with were fantastic.

Cons:

The kitchen didn't have the dishes etc needed to use it all (pots, pans, large plates).

The room could do with some upgrading with carpet and touches up with walls etc.
