About this property

Stunning self-contained hillside retreat with unsurpassed harbour views

‘Seaward Retreat’ is a self-contained retreat on the hillside of Seatoun, a maritime village just 20 minutes from the heart of Wellington, New Zealand’s capital city. It occupies the lower two floors of the dwelling .

Seaward gives you superb views of the ever-changing harbour seascape, and excellent travel connections - it's only a few minutes drive from Wellington airport. This outstanding private retreat has all modern amenities and is perfect for a family holiday, or a romantic weekend away. Seaward is even an inspiring location for a business meeting.

From Seaward you can explore the beautiful bays of the Miramar peninsula, or experience the rich culture of the vibrant capital. Seaward is newly refurbished, with all modern facilities, and at our website, you can find out more, make a booking and see for yourself what makes Seaward the ideal place to stay and enjoy, by the sea.

Sleeps up to 5 people. You can enjoy Seaward from $230 per night for 2 people.

The open plan living and dining area on the upper floor has an expansive view of Wellington’s beautiful harbour. From here you can watch ships and yachts pass by, or occasionally catch sight of a pod of dolphin or visiting Orca. The living room is equipped with Sky TV and stereo, and you can connect your laptop with free broadband internet access. If required, a roll-away bed can be placed in the corner of the living room.

The beautiful master bedroom gives you sea views – it comes complete with a queen size bed and semi-ensuite bathroom. All cotton linen is provided too. Nothing beats breakfast in bed with a view of the beautiful ever-changing seascape.

The second bedroom has a murphy (tilt-away) queen sized bed and all linen is provided. The second bedroom has been cleverly designed so that it can be also be used as a second dining room.

The kitchenette is located off the second bedroom / second dining room. It is small but provides a full induction cooktop, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine, dryer. No oven is provided however there is an outside barbeque .

Although Seatoun beach is only a five minute walk away, you don’t even need to go that far to enjoy the water. Seaward is equipped with a spa, which is carefully positioned to make the most of the stunning view.

Highly recommended
My husband, daughter & I stayed here. It was so comfortable and clean. Stunning views. Loved the private spa - perfect for two, able to fit three. We saw Andrew once when we needed help with the TV, otherwise we connected via text. He was just lovely - easy to communicate with, answering queries quickly, and very helpful. We hired a car from the Airport - he left the outside light on for us as we arrived on a late flight. A fun (steep!) ride up the cable car. We were busy most days but spent some afternoons at Seaward just relaxing. I can't recommend Seaward enough if you want somewhere to fully relax and unwind. Thanks Andrew & Jani for a fabulous place to stay - we felt very blessed.

Great host and location
Seaward Retreat was just perfect for my son, grandson and myself while visiting family nearby. Had everything we needed and a bonus for a four year old the exciting cable car and spa pool! Andrew was a great host who we mostly did not see unless we pressed the wrong button and went to the top to his level. Only a second to get back to ours. Thanks so much Andrew...will def stay again !
