New home with views in Hataitai
We had a great stay at Johns place,prompt answers to any queries. House was spotless and as described. Would highly recommend.

Beautiful central executive home
I booked at the very last minute at 6:30pm on the night and the host responded so quickly. I am so grateful because this old house is very unique with plenty of history. Awesome views that you never get tired of. Walking distance to every where. Be aware there are a lot of stairs to get to the property and bedrooms rooms up on 2nd level so if you have old or bad legs this could be a problem. Not a problem for me at all though & I am nearly 60. Thanks for a great stay and sharing your family home with me.

Sheryl's home was great . The bed is so comfy, spotless toilets and the kitchen has enough utensils for us to cook n prepare meal. We definitely want to.come back

Large Family Home, Close to Police College
Great place to stay for family during Police College graduation. Very clean and comfortable.

The Treetop Retreat
The home was perfect for our stay. We wanted a place close enough to the city, but somewhere we could escape in privacy, natural beauty and tranquility. We fell in love with Maungaraki and there were great little shops and eateries literally around the corner. The home was brilliantly appointed with all the modern luxuries, it was clean and elegant, and sets the stage for one of the most beautiful views of the forest from the private deck. It was a delightful experience, through and through, and we look forward to one day returning.

Modern studio with spa, in great location
I needed a place to stay for myself and my dog for one night due to a family emergency and this was perfect - modern, tidy, clean, right next to a park to stretch our legs, and close to Wellington hospital. Communication was excellent and Daniel went out of his way to help me out with an early check-in. Thanks very much!

Poets Block Haven in Upper Hutt
We loved staying at this lovely little cottage. It was a little house really. Great to have a washing machine and dryer. Also great kitchen supplies and set up. Not that we used it much except for our own breakfast but there were so many things supplied. I would recommend it to anyone.

Golden Gate Get-away... Right by the water!
Lovely apartment, beautiful gardens in the grounds, easy entry, loved that the cupboards had the essentials like at home. Highly recommended

Comfortable Studio near Weta Cave
Lefki and Dave’s place was the perfect base in the perfect location. Everything was very thoughtfully put together which made the stay comfortable. All the little touches…plugs by the bed, generous bathroom sink, somewhere to hang clothes. They’ve thought about how people will use their little place. And both were delightfully friendly when I ran into them. Thank you to you both for a lovely stay.

Little 6 Holiday Home Titahi Bay Beach
Rochelle’s place is co close to the beach which was wonderful for us and our dog. Short walk to the local shops including great coffee at T bay cafe. Rochelle has thoughtfully anticipated guests needs, plenty of towels, toilet paper, toiletries, milk, coffee and the tastiest home made muesli! Very clear instructions re: your dog staying which we really appreciated. The secure fencing in the garden just made for a really relaxing time, travelling with our doggo. We’ll definitely be booking again!

Buzz - the little house
This is a really great place to stay! The cottage is so peaceful and there are so many great birds around. Everything was very clean when I arrived and Clare accommodated my early morning arrival in Wellington by letting me check in early. She was an excellent host who was very responsive and kind. I recommend staying here!

Central modern Accommodation
Justine and Miles were great hosts! This was the perfect stay for our night in Auckland. The bathroom is absolutely gorgeous and the apartment is very cozy.

Mustang Cottage - cosy charming hidden hideaway
What a quiet, peaceful, private and clam spot. Lovely to hideaway at the back of the property. Comfy bed. Fantastic hot shower with great pressure! Great amenities and selection of beverages for any taste. Walking distance from Woburn train station so really easy to use public transport. Definitely booking again if another trip to LH is neeed

Seaside Retreat – Stargazing & Pet Owner’s Haven
We had a wonderful couple of days - we didn't know Wellington at all and were worried that the noise may be bad from the airport but it was very quiet and only a couple of times noticed planes coming and going. It was great having off-street parking and we we super comfortable in our rooms and very cosy. Had a lovely walk down at the end of the street. All in all a great place to be. Would definitely visit here again! Thank you Steph for sharing your lovely home.

We stayed for a week and absolutely loved our time here. It really felt like a home away from home. There was everything we needed and Kate was quick to respond to any questions. Loved all of the birdlife and the walks to cable car and botanical gardens. We will definitely stay again next time we visit Wellington.
