Views from your 2 bed home away from home!

KatjaRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Beautiful location and a very very comfortable bed. Amazing view from the balcony. Some steps down to the flat but very warm welcome by Norton the cat. We really enjoyed staying there. It might be a little noisy when a plane comes in but it did not bother us. We have been out during the day and the flights stop in the evening. Also earplugs provided. We would happily stay again. Thank you.

I had a marvelous stay at the Seaview house of Dreenagh and Kevin. Working in the industrial area it was a 5 minutes drive to work. It was always a great "coming home" in the afternoon. Nice restaurants are near, towards Eastbourne-Days Bay as well as in (the direction of) Petone. Free time: the trails behind the house in the fern woods are perfect for a hike or run. The house is equipped with all the requisites: a full-option kitchen, washing machine, WIFI. I hope to be back at Point Howard during my next stay!

An amazing place to stay, incredible views looking out over the bay, waking up with the sun coming through the window and going to bed with a full moon reflecting off the water. Loved the hot outside shower. 2 minute walk for our morning swim in the sea. Helpful friendly host. Loved walking through the bush to get to our luxury hut. Thank you for having us Annie we had loved it.

Seaside retreat on Wellington's South Coast

SarahRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Despite not crossing paths with Rachel & Steve, they were the best hosts keeping in close contact, but at the same time enabling our privacy. They Bach is perfectly located and provided all we could desire with breathtaking views. It was so simple to book and we felt so welcome. Super special to understand the history (no spoilers) & association with Sheila Natusch too. Highly recommend Ōwhiro Bay as a beautiful place to further explore Wellington.

We absolutely loved our stay at Steve and Chrissy's. Arrived to a pristine house which was perfectly designed to take in the awesome views of the ocean and south island. Great exploring the beach and rocks but really it's such the perfect spot to sit and relax, read, listen to the ocean. The beds were super comfy and the fire at night was super snuggly. We could have stayed at least a week!

The Beach House, Lyall Bay - with private hot tub

5 out of 5 average rating, 7 reviews1 week ago

This was the most gorgeous, luxurious spot to spend my birthday weekend away with the girls! We spent most of our time enjoying the beautiful ocean views from the upstairs living room, made the most of the outdoor area with a nice BBQ for dinner and a relaxing spa after, and we were spoilt for choice with the selection of bedrooms and bathrooms! This place had everything we needed and more. All the essentials in the kitchen, plenty of towels and a washing machine/dryer if needed, comfy beds, pillows, bean bags and a giant TV! It was truly a dream come true. Highly recommend if you’re wanting a little slice of paradise that’s a close walk to local shops, not far from the city and still feels like home. Thank you again to the hosts for having us, it was a beautiful weekend with lots of good memories x

Seaside Coastal Retreat

5 out of 5 average rating, 3 reviews2 months ago

I have the loveliest stay here. The place was perfect, it was such a bonus being just across the road from the marine reserve. I went for multiple snorkels (seeing nudibranchs, brittlestars and wandering anemone) and it was wonderful to be able to pop back across the road into a (great quality) hot shower immediately after. It was very easy to get into the city from here too, both by car and public transport. Linda incredibly helpful and friendly and I can’t thank her enough. Will definitely be checking the availability of this property next time I’m in Wellington!

Million Seaview Stay-Guest Room

MelanieRating, 5 stars3 months ago

Stayed here for 4 nights as a solo traveler. The location is good for getting to the city centre either by bus from the road near the house or about 25 minutes walk steep hill then level walk most of the way. Feng is very helpful. There is a great view from the living room/dining room. The access to the property is down some fairly steep steps which have a hand rail at the side. Was very comfortable here and would stay again.

The living area showcases a cozy sofa in neutral tones, accompanied by a round coffee table. A sleek TV is mounted on the wall. Natural light floods the space through large glass doors, opening to an outdoor view, complemented by modern decor and a floor lamp.

Julie is a great host and her house is beautiful. It’s so nice looking out at the ocean from the huge living room windows and the place is very cute. There is a bit of traffic noise in the bedrooms which you wouldn’t necessarily expect given the serene location but it’s not a big deal and definitely still worth staying.

The best deal for being comfortable and not cramped right in the heart of the city. The views both to the harbour and Mount Victoria are just beautiful and the perfect tonic sitting in the comfy lounger at the end of the day. Super easy instructions and both Carolyn and Aarti quick to respond to any queries. Also an extra layer of glazing in the master bedroom to keep out the city noises during the night. Friendly neighbours in the building make it a very safe space too. I would gladly return!
