Family-friendly vacation rentals in Newtown

Pleasant location close to motorway and reserve area for walks. Plenty of room, well equipped kitchenette and spacious bathroom. Tasty breakfast supplies.

A delightful seaside cottage, elegantly designed with a porch overlooking the bay. Very comfortable and quiet. One can hear the soothing sounds of waves at night. There are gardens front and back with tables from which to enjoy the view. This is a fantastic place to watch sunset every evening.

Great place to stay! The house was full of great books and games and had a very well stocked kitchen. The hosts were great communicating with us and we really enjoyed our weekend away. Definitely would return!

Beautiful house with amazing views. Clean and tidy. Well organized with all facilities. Enjoyed staying here. Simon is very friendly host and communication is easy. Highly recommend this place.

What an amazing place, with a view even more stunning than it appears in the photo! Everyday I felt compelled to take a photo of the constantly changing scene laid out in a 180 degree panorama. Benoit was a very thoughtful and responsive host, and it was everything my family (two adults, two kids) needed for our visit to Wellington. It is a very comfortable and beautiful house, and a handy location including shops a few minutes drive away and a great cafe a few minutes walk down the path. Although looks a bit out of town on the map, it is a short and easy drive into the city. Oscar the cat was soon part of the family and our son was very sad to say goodbye!

Lovely place, really good location, perfect for our needs, really easy to correspond and very clean

Nice quiet and peaceful cottage in the country. A great place for a relaxing retreat.

Was a very beautiful, peaceful place to stay. The walk down through the gardens and to the river was incredible and the dog even guided us the whole way down❤️ was very private 10/10 will definitely be booking again

Great house in a beautiful location. Excellent amenities, beautiful design, perfect for travelling with pups. A few notes: - The # of steps up to the unit might be underestimated by a factor of ~5. Not recommended unless you're reasonably fit. - The bedroom doors don't latch. There are hook-style locks provided....on the outside of the door. Not a huge deal, just means you need to shove something under the door if you want to keep the dogs from nosing their way in. - The water from the tap gets _really_ hot. This is great for some things (shaving) and less great for others (shower, dishwashing) Overall an excellent spot!

Thank you Tania. Absolutely perfect for my daughter and I. We are country lovers so this couldn’t have been better for us. Loved looking at the horses out the window / door. Loved the sounds of the birds in the evening and the morning. I got a little confused finding the cottage at first as I went up the left driveway to the main house, not the right driveway. But was able to get hold of Tania promptly and she was able to redirect me. This is a beautiful rustic type cottage with the space really well thought out. I didn’t mind the kitchenette in the bathroom. Obviously as long as you keep everything sanitary as you use it it’s not an issue. Kind of the same situation if you were to stay in a caravan everything is close together amenities wise. Was nice and warm and super cosy. Would absolutely stay here again. Thanks so much for your kind, friendly and inviting hospitality.

A super lovely and quiet spot. Very convenient with a car or uber to all of central Wellington. Place was great and Jennie was a pleasure to communicate with.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The house is super clean, modern, tidy and has new appliances and so on. It felt quiet and private and has a big back yard and off street parking. Our host were communicative and responsive, and check in was super easy.

We have stayed at Treehouse on numerous occasions now and it never disappoints. Quirky and cute with stunning views over Wellington Bay - and the sunsets beat TV hands down.

What a wonderful place to stay while in Wellington! I can’t recommend this place highly enough. Kate is very communicative, thoughtful and helpful and her tips and suggestions really improved my visit. You *must* be able to walk up and down lots of steps in order to stay here (as well as walk around the surrounding area), but it’s so worth it. You get an authentic Wellington experience living here and can explore the hidden pathways (most with steps!) as you walk to Zealandia, the Botanic Gardens (and glow worms!), and the cable car. And it’s only a 5- minute walk to the local village shops and excellent restaurants. I was able to comfortably stay here for 4 days without a car. I wish I could have stayed longer. Thanks for everything, Kate!

Fantastic place to stay in Wellington; especially if you’re going to visit The Weta Workshop since is just around the corner! Super lovely hosts with great communication. The place is easy access to and from the airport, a quieter area of town but still only a short walk away to different amenities. (Little convenience store, restaurant, and a cute cafe only two minutes away, plus other great restaurants/breweries only a 10 minute walk down the road.) It was a very comfortable stay; the place felt nice and homey and had great bedding. We also appreciated the extra amenities of complimentary teas/coffee, different games, movies, and books to check out- would 100% recommend staying here!

Beautiful old house! It was in a great location and very walkable. There were a couple things in the kitchen to supplement cooking (oil and a couple spices) and everything you need for cooking meals. It was a bit noisy at night because it’s on a main road but everything else outweighed that.

Neil and Heather were wonderful hosts - so welcoming, helpful and friendly. They made us feel like we were family. The loft apartment was beautifully appointed and the beds super comfortable. And our children loved the pool. We would stay again in a heatbeat!

Sharron’s apartment is so beautiful. Our only regret of our trip was that we couldn’t spend more time here. We were so fortunate to meet Sharron, she was most helpful, and we had a lovely conversation. Our hope is to have an opportunity to see the breathtaking views in this gorgeous Mt. Victoria accommodation again some day. We are so grateful to Sharron for her hospitality and great recommendations.

Station Cottage was a wonderful place to stay on our visit to Wellington. Sher is a great host, warm and welcoming, and the cottage is spacious and well laid out. Very good cooking facilities, and a pool just through the French doors. Khandallah station next to the property is fabulous for getting into the city. Secure parking made it so easy to come and go.

We stayed 2 nights at Jan and David’s place over a long weekend, while we explored the area and visited Kapiti Island (for the first time, it was great). The accommodation was exactly what we were looking for. Stylishly presented, very comfortable, an excellent ensuite (great shower). Jan and David were excellent hosts - very obliging ang welcoming. Would stay there again and recommend their place.
