Oriental Bay At Its' Best

Absolutely beautiful place: well designed, spotless, and comfortable, with a stunning view over Wellington harbor. The funicular access adds a bit of magic to the experience. Lovely, simple breakfast left for us. The location is perfect—a short walk from Wellington’s central business district. Loved our stay here.

Private 1 bedroom, spectacular views by the beach

4.84 out of 5 average rating, 221 reviews12 months ago

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!

Lyall Bay - Cosy Cottage

4.95 out of 5 average rating, 314 reviews1 week ago

we have stayed here a few times, so we feel right at home in this lovely comfortable home. It has everything you need, good quality linen, towels etc. We enjoy having a coffee machine available too. It's on the bus route so is easy to get into town without having to use your car and look for parking. There are excellent cafes in walking distance and of course the beach is just down the road. We will always stay here if it's available.
