What a great property. Just as described. Ideally situated for the airport and for accessing the town. Stunning views across the bay. Accommodation was just as described. It was very tasteful and well appointed. The welcome goodies were indeed very welcome and our hosts were very responsive when we contacted them. We loved our stay. Thank you.

Close to everything we needed

Lovely spot and handy to airport and to stadium for volleyball tournament. Great base to explore Miramar peninsula. Noisy at times with airport close by and owners living directly above but very clean and comfortable.

Check in was easy. The house was absolutely spotless and homely. Was like being at home. Beautiful scenery over the water and the patio was gorgeous. Plenty of space. The kitchen was well equipped. The bed we slept in was sooooo comfy, we slept so well each night. The heating and cooling system in the house was awesome. Was close to the shops and within walking distance of where we needed to go each day. A great price. We will most definitely keep this haven in mind when returning to Wellington. Thank you Chris.
