Get Away from it all 20min from the CBD
You almost forget that you are just 20min from the CBD. With a view across the valley (despite the power lines) and everything you need to relax and unwind. Prefect for our family for a few nights.

Beautifully appointed cottage in a stunning lovation
We had a full week at Carol and Alan’s cottage and would definitely stay again. Apart from the amazing scenery and bird life the whole property is beautifully maintained. The cottage itself is very well appointed. The bed was reasonably firm and super comfy and the whole layout of the cottage suited us totally. It was a perfect country base for our special stay in Wellington.

Highly Recommend! Cosy home.
beautiful property! Well maintained. Provided with LOTS of extra linen & towels so your not just stuck with 2 towels. They provided lots of shampoo conditioner, body wash etc all the big stuff u dont need to pack. Respectful with privacy & were nice enough to let me check out later when my flight got cancelled. Cottage felt like home close to city, motorway, countdown & Porirua township. Will be back again thanks carol & Allan.

Wonderful stay in Wellington!
This cottage was stunning, with a magnificent view of the surrounding countryside, complete with sheep and cows. Great bathroom and lovely products. The linen was beautiful and everything worked well. New Zealand coffee was so good I bought some to take home. Location was fine. 15-20 mins to most things we wanted to do in town. Had a spectacular thunder and lightning storm but felt perfectly safe inside. We didn’t meet our hosts but appreciated their welcoming note and flowers. Would love to return some day. Elaine

Absolutely amazing!
We stayed here , in this lovely little cottage for 4 nights while on a short trip to NZ from Australia. The cottage, the location and the hosts were all wonderful. Will definitely return, next time for a much longer stay. The cottage is only a short 10-15 minute trip out of the city and the location and space is so much nicer than a hotel room...honestly do yourself and your soul a favour and choose this place. You will love it!

This is a great base for exploring Wellington - especially if you use the local train from Tawa. The accommodation is very modern and very spacious, with a wonderful view from the large verandah. Highly recommended - would say again!
