Beautiful central executive home

SimonRating, 5 stars2 months ago
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.

The Treetop Retreat

AaronRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
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.

LeylaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
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!

Comfortable Studio near Weta Cave

SofiaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
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.

Seaside Retreat – Stargazing & Pet Owner’s Haven

SusanRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
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.
