Great for Families

The property was truly a gem. The place was clean and tidy when we arrived. It had everything we needed to make meals in the kitchen. My kids enjoyed the nice selection of children's books and games. The property was only a 10 minute drive to the CBD. Buses were only a 5 minute walk away. Trevor and family were lovely and helpful hosts. This was a great property to stay at, I highly recommend it.

Great place to stay!

We were near everything but didn’t feel like we were in the city. Had a great stay and cooked full meals in the kitchen. Major perk was the laundry machines. Highly recommend this little house in a wonderful neighborhood.

Tidy and comfortable in handy location to city

Comfortable beds, well presented and functional, nice shower. Easy check in process. The steep drive was a bit of a challenge for us initially, but is pretty typical of inner city Wellington properties! Would stay again.
