A perfect place to stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The house was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The location was great as it was close to everything we wanted to do in Wellington. The off road parking was a huge bonus too. Everything about this charming cottage was perfect!

Nice stay in Wellington

It was our first time in Wellington and this was a nice quiet place to stay. We walked to Te Papa which wasn't far and really enjoyed the Weta workshop and Mt Victoria.

Beautiful property, amazing hosts, highly recommend to anyone wanting to be in the heart of Wellington. Could not fault any part of the stay. Waking up to bird song from nearby Zealandia park was amazing.

Excellent Property & Location

The property on arrival exceeded our expectations. Everything we wanted was there. The area was quiet, yet within a 10 minute walk of local shops. Five minutes further walk and you're at Cuba Street with plenty of restaurants to choose from.

Wonderful Accommodation

My husband and I stayed here for six nights in January. We loved this spacious cottage and especially appreciated the private back patio, perfect for relaxing after a day of touring Wellington. The house was very clean and comfortable. It was also an easy walk down through the quaint Aro Village to the city centre. Many thanks to the owner. We highly recommend this place for couples, friends travelling together and families.

Great house in awesome location

Lovely house, well equipped with all the little things you forget or don't want to buy for a short stay. Off street parking is very convenient, only 1 min off the end of the motorway and a short walk to many cafes and restaurants. Clean and tidy, good heating and lovely hot water. Owners had great communication and were very helpful!

Cottage in Wellington

Very nice cottage but chilly in winter August. We missed accessing local TV stations but did access streaming. Beds were comfortable and the mattress heaters really helped keep us warm! Very nice to have full kitchen and full size washing machine AND dryer.

Not for us

The house looks as listed and the location is good for traveling around Wellington. It is an old cottage and was not as clean as we would have liked. As it is an older home, there is a bit of a musty smell, but you can remedy this by opening the windows and airing the place out during your stay.

Response from VrboOwner on 20 Mar 2025
It's seems to be challenging to convince guests to leave the small windows at each end of the house slightly open for airflow, even thought there are safety locks, and the air reticulation system through the house seems not match for Wellington, but alas, we have removed our wee humble cottage from short term stays!

Clean well appointed home in a great area

What a nice surprise. The house is very clean with modern appliances and lots of amenities. There are grocery stores, restaurants, cinemas nearby and easy access to Interstate 15. The backyard is fenced and has a covered patio. The Wi-if is very fast and there are smart TVs in the den and Master bedroom. There is no access to the garage.

Cozy Cottage

They thought about everything to make our stay over easier, even an ambrella. It's the perfect place to stay for a small family with older kids. Nice quiet neighbourhood, clean and safe little house not to far from the city centre.
