Wellington - Eastbourne 2 bedrm beachfront cottage with WiFi
Enjoy staying in gorgeous Guthrie Cottage, in a quiet location on the beach-front with the waves almost lapping at your door. It's beautiful, immaculate and very tastefully appointed with your comfort in mind. Free Unlimited WiFi and Netflix. 2 quiet bedrooms with queen sized beds. The lounge has a sofa bed, so the cottage can accommodate 6. Sea views from main bedroom, lounge and dining. Gas central heating.
The cottage is in a quiet residential area and is not suitable for parties. Please restrict outside noise to 9pm in consideration of the neighbours.

There is lots to do - relax in the cottage, enjoy the outdoors, walk in the bush or cycle around the coast. Swim out to the raft which is moored directly in front of the cottage in the summer time. Sip champagne in the outside two, as you look out across the Harbour to the flickering lights of Wellington City. Sit in the front garden or on the sea-wall and watch the Inter-islander ferries go by - if you are lucky you might see some Orcas which are regularly seen each year. Stroll down the beach to the village shops, cafes and restaurants.
The cottage is ideal as a romantic retreat or for a relaxing family holiday or a quick get away from the city.
Guthrie Cottage is a 25 minute drive or ferry ride from Wellington, and a base to explore the lower North Island. Catch the ferry to Picton and visit the South Island.

Location, comfort, delightful and roomy cottage. Responsive hosts to a couple requests. Lovely area. The sunroom is very comfortable even when squalls of rain coming up the harbor.
The house has been lovingly restored. You have a great view of Wellington and Eastbourne is a great little town.I have no trouble giving a great rating!
Amazing location, place is so clean and tidy and the host is great to help. have stayed a few times now and it is one of our favourite. will be back again.

So glad you enjoyed yourselves. Hope to see you again!
A great place, very interesting history, a great location, clean, well equipped, cosy even in the middle of winter and a comfortable bed. Only shame is that we had to leave early. Will be back!
Absolute bliss! The cottage is immaculate, and reflects thoughtful attention to detail in the whole organization of the home. Everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay is provided. Clean, calm, peaceful, amazing views and a location easily walkable to the village and ferry. We are so impressed with how well this timeless property has been maintained over the years. Extremely well done!! What a privilege to enjoy Eastbourne from this cottage. We think it is the best place to stay in all of Wellington!

Great cottage in great community. Location is ideal and we enjoyed the outdoor activities in the area and local eateries.
Great stay for comfort and relaxation
Thank you so much for hosting us at your property. We absolutely loved our stay. The view definitely stole the show and Eastbourne is charming as well. We loved having our morning coffee in the sun room and our evening wine on the porch watching the incredible sunsets.
This beautifully outfitted, recently remodeled property was the perfect getaway. It was lovely waking up to look out the front window at the water every morning and having everything we needed to be able to cook in the well-stocked kitchen. Had a wonderful stay and would definitely go back!
Very nice cottage right on the beach. Dead end street turns into a trail thats perfect for walking and running. Cottage is wonderful. Nice location. Town of Eastbourne and ferry to Wellington in walking distance. Would definitely stay there again!
A beautiful location and a very relaxing stay. Would definitely recommend for a break away!
We actually live in Wellington but as we are currently living on our boat while we build our a new home, we were looking for some land time and some bath time to relax in the winter months.
Was perfect for us!
A beautiful home, with a wonderful view. It was nice to get away from the city and have a comfortable place to relax, but still be close enough for any of the city activities. A truly wonderful property, and a highlight experience.
Our October trip was beautiful. The weather was lovely and the cottage worked perfectly for location, supplies and comfort. Central heating and water pressure were lovely. Bedding was luxurious and our hosts were very friendly.
Spent a lovely two nights in this full of character beach front home. One gets the feeling that everything in the property has been thought through, and makes for a very enjoyable and relaxing stay. Would definitely recommend and return.
