Rydges Wellington
Our flight was cancelled and rebooked and so we found Rydges a convenient short stay accommodation centrally located in Wellington. The pool and spa was great, however the spa temperature was a bit too hot for us.

We had a parking pass and luckily there was one spot left. Not much of a view, but we were only there to sleep for 2 nights.
