Modern house with a private front yard and plenty of space inside and out.
With uninterrupted view from Island Bay to Owhiro Bay including the South Island and Red Rocks. Our family home was built to maximise the rugged South Coast. There is never a dull moment taking in these views while enjoying our home with a new kitchen, bathroom and cosy three bedrooms. Only a short drive into the CBD to make the most that Wellington has to offer. 15 minute drive from the airport, hospital and CBD.

Interior Highlights:

Stunning south coast find
Photos do not do this place justice. The views from all 4 corners are expansive and extraordinary.The house itself is open and airy, also cosy around the wood burner if a southerly hits. Other nice touches include quality linen, comfortable furnishings and a plentiful supply of firewood. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Picturesque and Spacious!
We stayed for a few nights here and it was wonderful! It had the most amenities of any place we stayed and a perfect view. Got to watch dolphins chase fish into the harbor, we saw the south island one day, and beautiful sunsets over the mountains.

Love the place, love the family
I hesitate to spread the word about this place too far, because I kind of want to keep it to myself. We stayed for 19 days, and every day woke up rubbing our eyes to be in such a magical location: high enough for a spectacular view without traffic noise, but low enough to hear the surf and have a brief stroll to the beach. And the hosts were such a blast to meet. Probably our best family vacation ever.

What a view!
We only had a short time here. We loved the layout of the house. There was a live Christmas tree up in living room that smelled wonderful. But that view was just so beautiful. Thank you

Island Bay Retreat
This holiday home is wonderful. It has an amazing view. The house is well presented with newly renovated kitchen and bathroom. We had a great week in Wellington and this house enabled us to retreat from the city and relax. It was clean and tidy and even had bread, milk, eggs and banans in the fridge on arrival.
