Executive Style Apartment
the apartment is in a fantastic location, was very spacious, clean and modern and beautiful. Rhys responded very quickly to any questions. I would definitely recommend this place.

South Coast retreat overlooking Cook Strait
Private and peaceful, great location. Amazing views of the south island on a good day. Cafe a few doors down that makes a good coffee

Cozy & Luxury Apartment in Wellington Central
The property was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. We experienced a delay checking in due to a login issue with Airbnb, but once we gained access, the rest of the stay was smooth. The host followed up and explained the situation, which I appreciated. Overall, a good stay and a considerate host.

Seaside Escape, Your Coastal/City Getaway
Sally provided a place that exceeded our expectations. we had an absolutely wonderful time and can't fault her. As a Wellington resident for 14 years who booked it for his parents while they were travelling I can't recommend this enough. It's exactly what you need if you are here for a visit or a medium term stay. Thanks Sally!

Peaceful Panoramic Sea Views
loved our few days in Eastbourne. beds were very comfortable, and the place was so clean.

Million Seaview Stay-Guest Room
Stayed here for 4 nights as a solo traveler. The location is good for getting to the city centre either by bus from the road near the house or about 25 minutes walk steep hill then level walk most of the way. Feng is very helpful. There is a great view from the living room/dining room. The access to the property is down some fairly steep steps which have a hand rail at the side. Was very comfortable here and would stay again.

Victoria Vista
Great place! For a young family with two kids, it had exactly what we needed for our stay. It was a great location in the CBD with easy walking distance everywhere. Mohsen was a great host and very responsive.

Room in Wellington
Maria is so lovely! We had many good chats over tea. Maria has a beautiful energy and enthusiasm about her. She loves hosting, so you always feel very welcomed. She will look after you and make sure you are settling in. I am a very light and difficult sleeper, and I slept so well at Maria’s place! It was just like home. The bed is super comfy

Octopus’s Garden 3bd2bth House
We had a wonderful weekend with family, staying at Julie’s house. There were 3 good sized bedrooms, 2 with great views. Everything was really clean and spacious, the kitchen was well equipped, and we had lots of instructions. Julie communicated well before our check in. Parking directly opposite was a bonus. For anyone with mobility issues, just be aware that there are steps up to the entrance, and living / sleeping is on 2 floors.

Beautiful central executive home
I booked at the very last minute at 6:30pm on the night and the host responded so quickly. I am so grateful because this old house is very unique with plenty of history. Awesome views that you never get tired of. Walking distance to every where. Be aware there are a lot of stairs to get to the property and bedrooms rooms up on 2nd level so if you have old or bad legs this could be a problem. Not a problem for me at all though & I am nearly 60. Thanks for a great stay and sharing your family home with me.

Eastbourne Waterfront Cottage
We loved our time here. Beautiful waterfront location, bountiful back garden, comfy beds, and generously equipped, for a family of 5 to have an enjoyable stay.

The Beach House, Lyall Bay - with private hot tub
This was the most gorgeous, luxurious spot to spend my birthday weekend away with the girls! We spent most of our time enjoying the beautiful ocean views from the upstairs living room, made the most of the outdoor area with a nice BBQ for dinner and a relaxing spa after, and we were spoilt for choice with the selection of bedrooms and bathrooms! This place had everything we needed and more. All the essentials in the kitchen, plenty of towels and a washing machine/dryer if needed, comfy beds, pillows, bean bags and a giant TV! It was truly a dream come true. Highly recommend if you’re wanting a little slice of paradise that’s a close walk to local shops, not far from the city and still feels like home. Thank you again to the hosts for having us, it was a beautiful weekend with lots of good memories x

Spa by the Sea
This home was beautiful and clean. Madeline was super helpful and response. Could not have asked for a better host of home. Thankyou for sharing your lovely place with us. We had the best time.

Seaside Retreat – Stargazing & Pet Owner’s Haven
We had a wonderful couple of days - we didn't know Wellington at all and were worried that the noise may be bad from the airport but it was very quiet and only a couple of times noticed planes coming and going. It was great having off-street parking and we we super comfortable in our rooms and very cosy. Had a lovely walk down at the end of the street. All in all a great place to be. Would definitely visit here again! Thank you Steph for sharing your lovely home.

Scenic Haven: Warm, ethnic charm
House was modern and immaculate. Great neighbourhood and beautiful views across the harbour

Beach Haven on Lyall Bay Parade
This beach side abode was beautiful and well equipped. The beds were comfortable and the shower was amazing. The kitchen was well equipped. Nothing could beat those amazing views. Thank you for the opportunity. Highly recommend.
Waterfront condo accommodation

Halal Accom in Wellington Central.(private bath)
We had an amazing stay here! It was in a great location, easy to walk to, and the hosts were both super nice! Thanks so much, Maya!

Harbour views 2bdrm apartment with deck
This was a simply marvellous spot to stay! Fantastic location in a very secure location. I could easily walk to the grocery store, the waterfront, Te Papa museum and many other attractions. The apartment was spotless and equipped with everything I could imagine needing Llane was very responsive to questions and proactive with notices. I wish she owned a spot in every place on my bucket list!

Oriental Bay: stunning views from a private condo
The apartment was lovely, the location had perfect views of Wellington city and harbour with the ferries coming and going. We had great weather too, so watching the sun set was spectacular. Just a short Uber drive to get into the city for restaurants etc. I would definitely recommend staying here and Craig was super helpful and pleasant to communicate with.

Central Wellington Apartment in Dream Location
The best deal for being comfortable and not cramped right in the heart of the city. The views both to the harbour and Mount Victoria are just beautiful and the perfect tonic sitting in the comfy lounger at the end of the day. Super easy instructions and both Carolyn and Aarti quick to respond to any queries. Also an extra layer of glazing in the master bedroom to keep out the city noises during the night. Friendly neighbours in the building make it a very safe space too. I would gladly return!

Stunning Evans Bay - Waterfront Apartment
Fabulous Airbnb Gorgeous views, so close to shops bakery and restaurants. We loved our stay and really appreciated the amazingly stocked kitchen.
