Attractions\Activities: Wellington, the capital of New Zealand, offers an unforgettable city experience in a natural setting. It is located between a beautiful harbour and rolling green hills. Wellington has excellent shopping, professional theatre and cafes and restaurants all close to untouched nature spots.

"We were most pleasantly surprised by both the standard and facilities at the Richmond Guest House. Our room was clean, comfortable and bright (in Auckland we had a plain cold room with no ensuite for the same money) and John, the proprietor, was welcoming, friendly and helpful. For 65 dollars a night we had breakfast, free parking, free washing machine and tea & coffee along with cooking facilities and a lounge with TV. The guesthouse is located an easy five minute walk from Courtney Place - the centre of entertainment in the capital - and is excellent value for money."
"Where to begin. having spent a month at the Richmond all I can say is it was time well spent. For may reasons too numerous to mention. If you are a rugby fan then John is more than happy to tell which teams are good ! The rooms are comfortable and serviced regularly and all have en-suite bathrooms. there are also clothes washing facilities and tea at any time of the day. On the whole a well kept bed and breakfast which is close enough to all the tourists attractions but quite enough to make you think you are home. Keep up the good work."
