Sunlit Retreat with Off-Street Parking & Courtyard

PaulRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
Was very nice, would stay again! Everything was very comfortable, and it's within easy walking distance of downtown and loads of bars, shops and restaurants. A great way to explore Wellington on foot. Also nice to have the central heating in the damp Wellington summer! Well equipped with everything we needed. Thanks! - Paul and Tan

South Coast Retreat

TylerRating, 5 stars18 months ago
Nice place atop a hill in a suburb of Wellington - absolutely gorgeous views while walking the neighborhood when the sun's out! It's about a 20-minute walk to shops & restaurants but the neighborhood is decently connected to the rest of the city via bus.

Island Bay Stylish Villa

ChristineRating, 5 stars23 months ago
Craig and Kylie were excellent hosts, and their home was a wonderful place for our family of four to enjoy for a couple weeks. The location was peaceful yet everything we needed was within walking distance (grocery, cafes, library, park, beach, shops, and more). The beds and lounge areas were very comfy and the kitchen was well equipped. Our favorite part about the house was the giant sliding glass wall that opens up completely to the backyard!

South Coast Charm - Amazing views

ChristaRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
We really enjoyed our stay. We have family in Island Bay, and this was perfect for proximity while also feeling like a vacation. We loved going to the beach and listening to the waves crashing on the rocks. The Beach House Cafe, a few steps away, was a favorite, as is the Empire a short drive into Island Bay center. Peter was very communicative and helpful - particularly when we had to change our plans and he worked with us to change from his other listing. We appreciated the thoughtful touches, nice linens, and the convenience of laundry. Definitely a great stay!

Stunning Panoramic views of Wellington

Our second stay at this location. We absolutely loved it. The view according to our Wellington family is the best in town. Lots of space, everything you need is provided and it makes for a very easy stay for our family in summer or winter. Many thanks and we'll be back. Abbi

The Beach Bach

Rosalili - Azaria - TRating, 5 stars1 month ago
I’m from Australia and my stay was extended, that is when I came across this stunning place on Air bnb. This place was beautiful, it looks exactly like the pictures and the host was very welcoming where fresh cheese scones were offered upon booking! Thanks to the Aiyaz, I had a few family members with me who also reside in Wellington, but had never known of this place & commented on how beautiful it was. The view is spectacular and the hot tub is just amazing. The deck and the outdoor space is in general is just perfect. Came across the host upon check in and he was very friendly, communication was also great where he was welcoming to have family over but not to stay as we were to be mindful of neighbours. Plimmerton is beautiful. Thank you Aiyaz, truly an amazing experience and I have no regrets in choosing such an amazing place to stay.

Wellington good views

AlisonRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
A steep drive to the house as it's located at the top of a hill. But well worth as the house has a beautiful view on a clear day. The driveway can fit at least two big cars. The inside of the house is very spacious and a good heat pump/system to keep warm.

Four bedroom near the ocean, beach and cafes

JaydenRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
This Wellington townhouse was clean, cosy, and perfectly situated near fantastic cafes. It offered plenty of space and all the essentials, making our stay incredibly comfortable. The highlight, however, was its proximity to Evans Bay – an ideal spot for a sunny walk by the water. A great choice for convenience, comfort, and enjoying Wellington’s vibrant charm.

This was an absolutely lovely stay in a stunning spot! The garden and sunroom outside the space are absolutely beautiful and an ace spot to spend time in. The unit itself is very spacious, homely, and full of amenities. Super clean and tidy, and Selena and Liem were super responsive and lovely to deal with. It was a wonderful stay.

Amazing fully furnished big house

AdrianeRating, 5 stars1 month ago
AMAZING!! perfectly describes this Airbnb. I booked this wonderful home for my family visiting over from Australia for 2 nights. It's much better in person, than in the listing photos. They loved it and wished it was available for another night. It was spacious and comfortable for 6 persons. Other than the dishwasher being out of order, everything else they needed was there to use. There's also a downstairs area where family can hang out. Prem and Sneh are excellent hosts. Can definitely recommend.
