Executive Style Apartment
the apartment is in a fantastic location, was very spacious, clean and modern and beautiful. Rhys responded very quickly to any questions. I would definitely recommend this place.

South Coast retreat overlooking Cook Strait
We really enjoyed our stay. The view was amazing and the location as great. Perfect for that early morning walk and run. Very easy to get around with car. The place was very clean and quiet.

Cozy & Luxury Apartment in Wellington Central
Minh was a wonderful and very responsive host. The place exceeded our expectations and was in a perfect location. We loved how sound proof the windows were with the apartment being in the city!

Seaside Escape, Your Coastal/City Getaway
Sally provided a place that exceeded our expectations. we had an absolutely wonderful time and can't fault her. As a Wellington resident for 14 years who booked it for his parents while they were travelling I can't recommend this enough. It's exactly what you need if you are here for a visit or a medium term stay. Thanks Sally!

Peaceful Panoramic Sea Views
loved our few days in Eastbourne. beds were very comfortable, and the place was so clean.

Million Seaview Stay-Guest Room
Stayed here for 4 nights as a solo traveler. The location is good for getting to the city centre either by bus from the road near the house or about 25 minutes walk steep hill then level walk most of the way. Feng is very helpful. There is a great view from the living room/dining room. The access to the property is down some fairly steep steps which have a hand rail at the side. Was very comfortable here and would stay again.

Victoria Vista
Great stay! Was super quick with responding back! Nice guy and very friendly. Would recommend to all 😊 Thanks so much for being so accommodating and kind to us boys!!! Understood the nature of the weekend and was a great help. 👌🏻🤙🏻

Room in Wellington
Maria is so lovely! We had many good chats over tea. Maria has a beautiful energy and enthusiasm about her. She loves hosting, so you always feel very welcomed. She will look after you and make sure you are settling in. I am a very light and difficult sleeper, and I slept so well at Maria’s place! It was just like home. The bed is super comfy

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.

Eastbourne Waterfront Cottage
We loved our time here. Beautiful waterfront location, bountiful back garden, comfy beds, and generously equipped, for a family of 5 to have an enjoyable stay.

Seacrest in Paremata
Excellent accommodation in picturesque location. We enjoyed a home from home experience. The Smart TV was a benefit with a wide range of viewing options after a long days sightseeing. We highly recommend to anyone considering a visit to the area. It's an easy run into Wellington so avoids staying in a built up area.

Near the beach on Dolly Varden reserve
lovely light & bright house. a little road noise but felt quite secluded and a great location close to coffee and walks.

Seaside Retreat South Coast
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.

Beach Haven on Lyall Bay Parade
This beach side abode was beautiful and well equipped. The beds were comfortable and the shower was amazing. The kitchen was well equipped. Nothing could beat those amazing views. Thank you for the opportunity. Highly recommend.

Lagoon Apartment A
Very comfortable for the number of guests. Location was perfect. Having a garage was also helpful for housing our rental car We would all definitely return.

Seaside Cottage
Honestly an awesome little place to stay at with an amazing view of the sunrise in the morning coming over the mountains. Beds were really comfortable and super clean. Only downside side is the idiots with shitty loud cars that think it’s a race street late at night but can’t complain about the cottage.
Waterfront condo accommodation

Halal Accom in Wellington Central.(private bath)
We had an amazing stay here! It was in a great location, easy to walk to, and the hosts were both super nice! Thanks so much, Maya!

Lovely - 1 private room for rent in Thorndon (CBD)
Very clean and easy one night stop. Alvero was clear in the check in instructions. Room was well presented, lots of light. Bed was quite firm but I slept well despite Wellington gale winds, the double glazing kept it cozy! Clean bathroom. Quick chat with Alvero who was very nice. 30 min walk from CBD or 10 mins on frequent bus route, stop right outside. Felt safe for solo female traveller.

Harbour views 2bdrm apartment with deck
This was a simply marvellous spot to stay! Fantastic location in a very secure location. I could easily walk to the grocery store, the waterfront, Te Papa museum and many other attractions. The apartment was spotless and equipped with everything I could imagine needing Llane was very responsive to questions and proactive with notices. I wish she owned a spot in every place on my bucket list!

Oriental Bay: stunning views from a private condo
The apartment was lovely, the location had perfect views of Wellington city and harbour with the ferries coming and going. We had great weather too, so watching the sun set was spectacular. Just a short Uber drive to get into the city for restaurants etc. I would definitely recommend staying here and Craig was super helpful and pleasant to communicate with.

Central Wellington Apartment in Dream Location
The best deal for being comfortable and not cramped right in the heart of the city. The views both to the harbour and Mount Victoria are just beautiful and the perfect tonic sitting in the comfy lounger at the end of the day. Super easy instructions and both Carolyn and Aarti quick to respond to any queries. Also an extra layer of glazing in the master bedroom to keep out the city noises during the night. Friendly neighbours in the building make it a very safe space too. I would gladly return!

Stunning Evans Bay - Waterfront Apartment
Fabulous Airbnb Gorgeous views, so close to shops bakery and restaurants. We loved our stay and really appreciated the amazingly stocked kitchen.
