What an amazing property. For a group of 10 ladies, there was plenty of room and a bed for each person. Absolutely stunning views. Communication was seamless and easy. Would love to come back with my family one day!

I'm pleased we booked this lovely house in Oriental Parade. For 10 of us having two bathrooms and numerous bedrooms we had plenty of space and no tripping over each other.
The accommodation is spotless. A lot of work has gone into the bedding, it's immaculate, comfy and clean.
Excellent communication and clear instructions, Carolyn is a thoughtful and caring host. Having the two car parks was extremely useful for us. The location is still walking distance to downtown though or a quick uber.
Loved sitting in the lounge watching the shipping action on the harbour.

This was a perfect house for our group of 12 women staying in Wellington for the Women's World Cup. The house was spacious with wonderful views of the Bay (and the stadium across the bay). Loads of natural light through large front windows. Kitchen was well equipped too, so we were able to save some money by cooking.

We have stayed in this house for 6 days with 9 of us including 3young children. The house is well organised with comfortable bedding and everything we needed to celebrate 40th birthday for our daughter. The house is built on the hill side and 2 minutes walking to Oriental Bay. Lovely walking path is nearby. We enjoyed staying at OB retreat very much.

We had a great time in this stunning property. It was like staying in a resort hotel. The views from the house are amazing. Communication with the owner was first class. We only very small issue is that it is on a steep hill BUT we were told about this and to be honest, this is Wellington folks, and all houses are on hills.

Great location which is walking distance to cbd. Very warm and cosy accomodation with the best carpet and underlay, your feet fall in love with it. Groups obviously leave what they bring so you have everything you need in a kitchen. I wouldn’t even bother looking around for anything better as you won’t find it. Thank you Carolyn and Paul you have spent many hours and a lot of money to get it to a 5 star code.

Great property, although access by pathway and then steps not fun in the rain. The rules of the property in the folder are excessive compared to other properties we have stayed in. It made it hard to relax and enjoy the space fully.
