About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

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);

Tidy little apartment

Enjoyed our stay here. Everything was clean and location suited us, although described as CBD but a bit further out. We thought there might have been a bit more cooking facilities from the listing but only one hotplate so takeaways were ordered!

Quiet homebase

Perfect place to make a “home away from home”for a few days. Super close to the surf beaches and Weta Workshop. Very easy parking and access in and out of the CBD Wellington. Comfortable space- beds were fine and just enough furniture in the efficient space.

Great location and place to stay in Wellington

Our family of 4 really enjoyed our stay here during our short trip to Wellington. Rodney was an excellent communicator and gave us all the information we needed to make check in smooth. The apartment is over a garage, so you have the entire place to yourself with a secure keypad to get in and out. The beds were very comfortable, there’s plenty of closet space, and the kitchenette and laundry downstairs met all of our needs. We would definitely stay here again!

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!

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!

Jim Beam Homegrown stayover

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!
