A beautiful building in a great spot
8 / 10Excellent·Apr 2026
Good location, quiet and well equipped. Bathroom was snug with heated towel rack and underfloor heating.As other guests have reported there is a musty smell that seems to linger. It’s difficult to allow fresh air to circulate with the design of the windows.
8 / 10Excellent·Apr 2026
Good area, close to Petone town within walking distance. Easy access via car to the cake tin and the ferry’s. Had everything we needed. Free Street parking right outside the front door. I would stay again.
10 / 10Outstanding·Mar 2026
This is a former lodge converted into a home large space with interior decorations depicting its heritage. The interior is of high quality and a recently renovated bathroom and (well appointed ) kitchen. The main street (Jackson) is a short walk away.
