Nicole was an absolute gem! She was super chill and easygoing. I had to change my plans at the last minute, and she was totally welcomed about letting me stay a bit longer than we had planned.

Her place was in a great spot, right across from the botanical garden. You can just stroll over and enjoy a walk in five minutes flat. And it’s super close… read more

Nicole and Vishal were very kind and trusting hosts with the sweetest most adorable puppy, Harley. I stayed with them in Wellington for 10 days primarily helping with some cleaning and pet-sitting. They were very flexible with work hours and were not around much due to them both working full time during the week so I had a lot of free time to… read more

My week at Nicole and Rowan's was awesome! They are both so open, welcoming, fun, interesting and nice. Their dog, Harely, is super cute and lovable, and I loved meeting their daughter, too.
