About the host

I love seeing people enjoy themselves.
Why they chose this property
Thorndon is sitting on the door step of Wellington Central. Parliament and the higher Courts, along with various government buildings are a gentle walk away, along with Lambton Quay, shopping and restaurants. There is also fast access to the motorway in both directions, and the Ferry terminals.
What makes this property unique
100 years after it was first built in the 1920's, we've taken back some doors and walls, refurbished the floors fireplace, and modernised the entire space to turn what once was a moody, compact property into a light and airy luxuriously appointed apartment. You will feel like melting into the living room sofa upon arrival and watching a little tv, listening to some music or reading a book or two. There is ample space within, with wall to wall wardrobes in each bedroom, large plush queen size beds with hotel quality linen and multiple pillow choices.
A bath and shower occupy the bathroom with high quality consumables, and a new Washing Machine and Dryer to allow you do your laundry for longer stays.
The full kitchen is at your disposal, with oven, ceramic hobs, microwave, fridge, Coffee plunger and Nespresso pod machine, along with toaster, kettle and quality teas, coffees and chocolate.
