OB Retreat – Your Wellington Escape in Oriental Bay

Welcome to OB Retreat — a spacious, beautifully maintained six‑bedroom home with sweeping harbour views and everything you need for a comfortable, restorative stay in one of Wellington’s most loved suburbs. With generous living areas, a well‑equipped kitchen, two bathrooms, and unlimited fibre wifi, it’s ideal for families, friends, and corporate groups.

Just one street back from the beach, OB Retreat offers the perfect balance of tranquillity and convenience. Cafés, Te Papa, Tākina, the waterfront, parks, and city walks are all moments away. The balcony is a favourite spot for morning coffee or unwinding as the harbour lights come on.

We live upstairs with separate access and are happy to help as much or as little as you desire. 

We’re part of a close residential neighbourhood, so we ask guests to be mindful of noise and enjoy the space respectfully. This helps us keep OB Retreat a calm, welcoming place for everyone.

Whether you’re here for work or play, OB Retreat is your home away from home in beautiful Oriental Bay.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Hosted by Carolyn Stephens

Host profile image
Paul and I are a professional couple with two adventurous adult daughters who have long left home. We love living in Wellington and really love everything that Oriental Bay location offers - especially being so close to the harbour and our vibrant city with all its great sites, restaurants and events. We look forward to hosting you!

Why they chose this property

Oriental Bay is the No. 1 exclusive location to stay in Wellington. Close to the city and all it offers while providing a unique harbour side retreat with Mt Victoria & Wellington city on your doorstep.

Come & stay in one of the top 10 suburbs in NZ!
"With Auckland suburbs accounting for the bulk of the top 10, the sole non-Auckland location stands out. Oriental Bay, Wellington is the fourth most expensive suburb in New Zealand.

Real estate agent Phil Mears, from Tommy’s Real Estate, says it has long been one of Wellington’s top-performing suburbs.

“But it’s a bit more exclusive than the others and it’s very tightly held. So there are not many Oriental Bay properties on the market. Values are high though: there are a lot of properties in the $8m to $10m bracket.”
