This home was chosen by Australia’s channel 9 programme, called Travel Guides to film for an episode on Wellington!
The film crew booked for 2 days to film footage in front of the big lounge windows. They are up to series 9 in Australia, while in NZ on our screens we are up to series 6, so it will be a while before we see the episode. So excited - it’s a great honour to be chosen from all the hotels and homes in Wellington. Book and you will see why.
