Impressive view that never stopped fascinating. Wi-Fi bandwidth was quite poor, especially in the evening. And a towel warmer in the bathroom would have been welcome, as leaving them outside to dry wasn’t always an option.

Amazing views . The best place in NZ to stay 100 percent

For years we have always stayed at 5 star hotels, this place is so so much better than anywhere we have stayed in Wellington. The hosts were very quick to help us with any queries we had also very surprised that there is everything that you need. So clean and tidy. New with character, safe and private we would recommend this to everyone. Would stay there if possible every time we come to Wellington thank you so much for sharing your accommodation with us.

A magical hilltop retreat

It takes a little to get up the stairs, but it's worth the effort for the view alone. The place was clean, tidy and warm. There's some food in the cupboard (we left some as well). The booking process and communication with Kevin and Dreenagh was very pleasant and welcoming. Point Howard is only a short distance to Petone and Lower Hutt, and about 30 plus minutes from the airport (rush hour is a bit longer). Do as much or as little as you want. Just relax...

Point Howard was on point

Fantastic little property, But I will say you would need to of relative fitness to get your gear up to the property. We thoroughly enjoyed our little piece of paradise sitting on the point on what was a typical Wellington mixed bag of weather weekend. The views are incredible and can be seen from any window. We did have a couple of very minor issues which were communicated to the owners upon our return home and from our understanding were remedied immediately. The owners were fantastic to communicate with and very efficient in responding. We would 100% stay there again 😁
