Upper Hutt - NZ - Tranquility Homestay - I was so lucky to find this place on the Akatarawa Road north of Upper Hutt which is a suburb about 45 minutes by train north of Wellington. This is on a rural road right beside the Hutt River and the tramping trail was very close to my accomodation. Birds were attracted to the fruit on the trees in the yard. One of the owners was a real Coronation Street devotee so I learned that Mike Baldwin in the series has just been killed off.
