Booklovers B&B

Wellington


Author Jane Tolerton's elegant, book-filled B&B has four queen guest rooms (one with an extra single bed). A bus service runs past the front gate to Courtenay Pl and the train station, and the city’s ‘green belt’ begins right next door (including the fab Pirie St Play Area). Free on-street parking.
