Fantastic heritage home from home stay

This property is gorgeous and well appointed with everything we needed. We stayed over Christmas and the owners even put up a Christmas tree for us. The location is perfect for driving to Wellington and the Hutt valley.

Awesome stay

I stayed here with my groomsmen over a period of 3 days and we absolutely loved it, the place was beautiful and furnishings fit in so well. Communication between us and the host was so easy and they even came to unlock the door for us when we locked the keys inside on accident. 10/10 would definitely stay again.

Central, spacious and quirky

Centrally located with easy access to public transport to Wellington. Slightly awkward layout with toilet downstairs from 2 bedrooms and across the living room from the 3rd. Cleaning could have been more thorough, but the main things were fine. An unusual place to stay. Comfortable and convenient. No useable outside space though, unless you count the balcony off one bedroom.Definitely hasn't got a garden, just a concrete parking area with a pot plant. Over all a good option for a visit to Wellington.plant.andconvenient.
