There is lots to do - relax in the cottage, enjoy the outdoors, walk in the bush or cycle around the coast. Swim out to the raft which is moored directly in front of the cottage in the summer time. Sip champagne in the outside two, as you look out across the Harbour to the flickering lights of Wellington City. Sit in the front garden or on the sea-wall and watch the Inter-islander ferries go by - if you are lucky you might see some Orcas which are regularly seen each year. Stroll down the beach to the village shops, cafes and restaurants.
The cottage is ideal as a romantic retreat or for a relaxing family holiday or a quick get away from the city.

Highly recommend, worth every cent. The sound of the sea and most of all the under floor heating.We will return often Best Place to stay in Wellington.
Location, comfort, delightful and roomy cottage. Responsive hosts to a couple requests. Lovely area. The sunroom is very comfortable even when squalls of rain coming up the harbor.
The house has been lovingly restored. You have a great view of Wellington and Eastbourne is a great little town.I have no trouble giving a great rating!
Amazing location, place is so clean and tidy and the host is great to help. have stayed a few times now and it is one of our favourite. will be back again.
A great place, very interesting history, a great location, clean, well equipped, cosy even in the middle of winter and a comfortable bed. Only shame is that we had to leave early. Will be back!
Great cottage in great community. Location is ideal and we enjoyed the outdoor activities in the area and local eateries.
Great stay for comfort and relaxation
Absolute bliss! The cottage is immaculate, and reflects thoughtful attention to detail in the whole organization of the home. Everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay is provided. Clean, calm, peaceful, amazing views and a location easily walkable to the village and ferry. We are so impressed with how well this timeless property has been maintained over the years. Extremely well done!! What a privilege to enjoy Eastbourne from this cottage. We think it is the best place to stay in all of Wellington!
This beautifully outfitted, recently remodeled property was the perfect getaway. It was lovely waking up to look out the front window at the water every morning and having everything we needed to be able to cook in the well-stocked kitchen. Had a wonderful stay and would definitely go back!
Thank you so much for hosting us at your property. We absolutely loved our stay. The view definitely stole the show and Eastbourne is charming as well. We loved having our morning coffee in the sun room and our evening wine on the porch watching the incredible sunsets.
Very nice cottage right on the beach. Dead end street turns into a trail thats perfect for walking and running. Cottage is wonderful. Nice location. Town of Eastbourne and ferry to Wellington in walking distance. Would definitely stay there again!
A beautiful location and a very relaxing stay. Would definitely recommend for a break away!
We actually live in Wellington but as we are currently living on our boat while we build our a new home, we were looking for some land time and some bath time to relax in the winter months.
Was perfect for us!
Our October trip was beautiful. The weather was lovely and the cottage worked perfectly for location, supplies and comfort. Central heating and water pressure were lovely. Bedding was luxurious and our hosts were very friendly.
A beautiful home, with a wonderful view. It was nice to get away from the city and have a comfortable place to relax, but still be close enough for any of the city activities. A truly wonderful property, and a highlight experience.
