The staff were top notch! The room felt very modern, it had a good kitchen, washer/dryer, cosy dining area, good tvs. The bed was very comfortable. The cleanliness was also top notch. The parking was reserved and arranged ahead of time (paid) and we had no problems with it! Though it is not in the same building so beware of that. The location was excellent! Not only it was super easy to drive from the ferry and also to leave from hotel traveling north but it is also in the bustling city part with plenty of shops and restaurants! The cable car is next door! Botanical garden is within walking distance as well.

The location is definitely worth a stay! While it’s a bit further from the city center, you’re rewarded with breathtaking views. The hosts, a lovely family, were incredibly helpful with our sightseeing plans and shared fascinating stories about Wellington, offering us wonderful insights into the city. The breakfast was also fantastic. Highly recommend!

Wow I can’t say enough positive things about this place! The hosts were lovely - very accommodating and great communication. The apartment itself was warm and cosy and had absolutely everything we needed for our stay. And the location was outstanding….VERY short walk to gardens and cable car and so handy to everything Wellington has to offer. We wish we could have stayed longer but we will definitely be back.

We booked this apartment for one night but we would have loved to stayed longer. Everything is super clean and the flat is very cozy. The host even prepared a welcome sign for us which made us directly feel welcomed. The appliances in the kitchen and the washing (+ dryer) machine are modern. The hightech coffee machine and the superfast internet were definitely a plus! Can definitely recommend a stay here!

Great location on Ghuznee St by Cuba St, easy to walk everywhere and a very reasonable rate compared to other hotels. The staff were also great to deal with and very helpful. Very clean and comfortable room with table and two chairs and a well equipped kitchen area (fridge, 2 rings and microwave) to self cater if needed. Good heating/aircon. I had a quiet room on the back of the hotel. The continental breakfast was great with a fresh muffin too. Very close to the Wellington Eye Centre if you need to stay over as I did.
