About this property

Light, Modern + Close to Everything

A new, modern, quiet and clean apartment with 2 bedrooms (queen beds), separate lounge, kitchenette (fridge, microwave, hot plate, kettle and toaster) and spacious bathroom awaits you.

Bathroom with Shower (ample hot water), simple kitchen facilities (fridge, toast, kettle, microwave) and laundry with Washer and Dryer are at your disposal.

3 mins drive to Airport and Lyall Bay Beach, 7 to the city centre and the Nightlife, Museums, Opera, 15 to Westpac Stadium.

Wellington and all her attractions are at your fingertips here!

This is a brand new, supremely insulated, light, extremely sunny and warm apartment, designed for you and your friends/family to relax and enjoy yourselves in.

It's close to almost everywhere you'd like to be in Wellington (whether you are into sports, nights out, shopping, hiking, nature, beaches, or anything else) and yet remarkably quiet.

It's also a great space to sit in and relax, write, watch TV or movies, or simply share good times with friends and family.

There is one flight of stairs (separating the entrance/kitchenette/laundry with the rest of the space), so please, you will need to be wary of this when booking with small infants.

With your own private entrance you can come and go as you please.

There's off street parking for one car (or more with notice), and a shared BBQ if that's your thing on a sunny day/evening.

If you wish to have a fifth guest, we can hire a single fold out bed for an additional cost. This would be used in the living room or either bedroom. We can also provide a cot for hire.
Special conditions:
- Be a clean and tidy guest
- Parking is available for two vehicles on site, and on street parking in abundance
- Security Bond may be required - details and costs will be provided upon confirming any booking.

Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$20.00 per stay); Linen (Required, NZ$5.00 per stay); Single Fold Out Bed (Optional, NZ$25.00 per night and included where you book for 5 guests); Cot and Linen (Optional, NZ$20.00 per night);

Kitchen location
Loved the area and closeness to shops and bus and the host was accomodating. Fortunately for me I am fairly physically able to access the staircase, however for the older and/or physically impaired, having to make multiple trips up and down stairs to get a drink, make a snack etc would be quite a trial.

Our First Choice when Staying in Wellington
After a break of over two and a half years between visits to Wellington from Australia is was great to be able to stay at 135 Rongotia Road again. Its easy to travel around Wellington using the buses, with a stop just outside. We didn't get to see Rodney in person this time, but he was in regular contact via email to make sure everything was OK with our stay. When we are back in Wellington again, this will be where we will want to stay.

Easy Access to City & Coast!
Nice 2-story apartment with comfortable living & bedroom space upstairs. We easily rode the bus into the city with pick-up & drop off at the Bus Stop a few doors down the street. Enjoyed an afternoon drive out to the coast after a day exploring town.The apartment location was perfect, allowing us to see much of the area by car and bus. The small kitchenette is located downstairs. With the main living area upstairs, we tried to minimize trips up & down the stairs. The block style table & chairs were built for function over comfort.Overall, very nice, conveniently located stay in Wellington!

Wellington Accomodation
The property itself is nice and comfortable, Good to have parking up the drive. Dont recommend the fold out bed (would be ok if there was another foam mattress or something to go on it) so we ended up just having 3 of us in the bed. The actual beds were comfortable and warm tho. Washing machine and drier (supplied washing powder aswel) was handy. Nice to come home without the massive pile of dirty washing. Thanks!

We had come all the way down from the Waipa region to stay for homegrown, all though the place wasn’t in the cbd it was easy enough to get ubers or drive to and from. The place was so nice and Rodney (person in charge) was really onto everything. We are definitely considering staying here again when we come down another time!

Host profile image
A host for many years now and close at hand should you have a request, question or issue that needs handling. Happy to answer any local questions, point you in the right direction or help whenever I can.

Why they chose this property

Its close to all amenties and suburbs near the city, yet set back from the road and quiet so you'll get a great nights sleep once you are finished for the day. Close to the National Pool, ASB sports centre, beaches, shopping and on the bus routes both in and out of the city centre.

What makes this property unique

A great space to sit in and relax, write, watch TV or movies, or share good times with family/friends.
