About this house rental

Situated in Wellington, this lovely house for $338 per night is a fantastic choice for your next break. Our renovated villa is an urban edge piece of Wellington history in a quiet setting. Walk to downtown Wellington's fantastic shopping in Lambton Quay, CBD, Parliament Buildings (The Beehive), Railway station, bars and cafes. Take the many walking trails in the city's green belt - they start opposite the house. Grant Road Villa is a lovely OLD (circa 1890's) urban home which was renovated several years ago, modernised where necessary but keeping the character and features that graced its period. Please note: the house is old. If this is not your jam, then please don't book and then complain later. We believe it is suited to professionals, family groups, and those looking to relocate to Wellington needing a furnished home in the interim. We also offer a generous discount for longer term stays (some conditions apply). There is space aplenty, as the bedrooms are large, light and airy, the lounge and dining areas are also a good size. We have two two seaters and a three seater couches in the lounge, and a smart TV with built in Chromecast, freeview and Netflix. The beds in the twin room are both roomy King Singles, plenty big enough for adults; please note that the single beds in the larger queen rooms are standard singles intended for children. The house is well insulated and warm. There is on street parking, and one off street carpark, although larger cars such as utes or SUV's may not fit. The house is in a quiet street on the edge of the city. Sky Stadium (affectionately known as the Cake Tin) is a 25 minute walk, the station is 15 minutes, and so is the House of Parliament (The Beehive). A large New World supermarket is 500m away, for all your food and beverage supplies. Five minutes away is Tinakori Village, a pretty little centre with many boutiques, antiques, bistros, cafes and the local pub. Another five minutes will take you to Wellington's lovely botanical gardens. There is so much within walking distance that it's better to use Google maps to check out the vicinity rather than list it all. The northern end of the city is only a short Uber or Ola ride away, and the city's buses can take you wherever you want to go. Or ride on Wellington's ubiquitous E-Scooters, just download the app for either Beam or Flamingo to locate one (or several), register, log in and off you go! If walking bushy tracks is more your vibe, Wellington's green belt is over the road. Yes, literally. Tracks are marked, and one begins opposite the house. Everything you need for a comfortable stay is provided - even basic kitchen supplies for cooking. We are happy to have agreed pets to stay provided they are kept off beds and the couches. We will provide clean pet bedding if required. Pets stay free, but we may add a special cleaning fee. Please talk to us about your pet. The property is not fenced, so your dog will need to be secured on a leash when outside. The courtyard can be secured with a pet fence for small dogs that are not jumpers or escape artists! Also suitable for toddlers :-) Should you have to cancel your reservation due to Covid19 travel restrictions or symptoms, we will refund in full. Of course, some proof will be required! Of special note: We are within walking distance of all NZ government agencies. Ministry of Health, Police, ACC, Ministry of Environment, The Parliament, Ministry of Education, The Treasury are all between 500m and 1.5km away. We are also very close to the British, Canadian and Australian High Commission as well as the US, People Republic of China and Germany embassies. Ask Uncle Google for the rest. We look forward to hosting you!

We had a lovely time at this property with our extended family from visiting from Australia. The house is not only in a lovely and convenient location it is well equipped with all the essentials in every room. The home itself is a beautiful spacious character villa that is cosy and inviting and suits a large group really well. We will definitely recommend and stay again.

This property is beautiful. Full of charm and character. Loved our stay here. A peaceful haven so close to the city. Very comfortable. Loads of room. If you want 'sterile hotel' this is not the place. If you want a cosy and welcoming retreat, this is it. ❤️

Nice kitchen. Both wash and dryer and a drying rack. Parking for one car only. Porch bathroom, 2 big bedrooms, one medium bedroom. Portable heaters can be moved around to heat rooms desired. Not super close to public transit, but 15” walk to town and bus to Wellington. Host responsive and has a nice orientation binder that gives lots of instructions. Nice to have an extra hand towel. Thanks.

Awesome, well equipped villa - a home away from home. Very cosy, warm with electric blankets and heaters in every room. The children enjoyed the games and Netflix. Very easy to walk to the Botan's, local pub for dinner - ubers just a call away. We will be back - thank you!

The fact that it rained some of the time did not matter as there were plenty of board games for the children even fishing in colder weather was fun

This was a lovely stay, I just wish we had more time there to explore the area. Great comfortable rooms and very sweet toys and kids books that kept the little ones amused and excited to be there.

A good set up with all the amenities we needed, including a bassinet for our baby and bonus toys for the kids to play with. Everything in the house worked but you could see that it needed maintenance for some of the finer things like door handles ect. Also parking was a bit tight which made it a bit tricky for disabled people to get in and out of the vehicle, but this is a common issue for most houses around Wellington. All in all though it was a good stay.

Nice villa with lots of room, the owner was really helpful by cutting back his tree a little so we could park our van as parking is a huge issue in Wellington and also mailed back a forgotten item. Thank you Amanda

Good location and amenities. The second bathroom is crude and needs an update. The entire home needs a deep cleaning as there were webs and insects in every room and dirt/rubbish in the corners and under furniture. The outside patio furniture is not useable due to filth. Washing machine smelled and required a second cleaning. Doorknob to back door falls off. Front door needs a dead bolt as front lock assembly can be accessed by any flat tool. No fans for cooling and is very warm on a hot day.

Friends and I stayed at Amanda's house over a long weekend. It was just what we needed, plenty of space to hang out in the living areas and also nice big rooms. A big bonus was that it was kitted out with everything you need to cook a proper meal.

Really handy place to stay in Wellington, perfectly located for a quick trip into the city by car or a walk to local places of interest. Great facilities in the house in terms of kitchen set up, bedding, pantry items, bathroom products and kids toys. Amanda was a fantastic host who made the entire process seamless, and we do appreciated an early check in and late check out with our young kids in tow. House is really spacious, bedrooms huge, and a great lounge space for evenings spent with our Wellington based relatives. Thank you so much.
