About this property

Smart and tidy cottage close to CBD.

Kelburn is one of Wellingtons inner city suburbs. Located above the CBD and a stones throw from the Harbour and Te Papa. We are handy to bus transport and the cable car. The Botanical gardens are on our doorstep and for the keen walker it is approx 35 mins walk to Westpac Stadium. The main restaurant area of Te Aro and the entertainment precinct in Courtenay Place are both approx 20 mins walk. The Wellington International airport is some 15 min drive depending on the time of day and the Airport flyer (bus transport to and from the airport) stops along from the bottom of the cable car. The Interislander Ferry terminal is approximately 10 mins drive away and the other ferry, Bluebridge some 7 mins drive.
Kelburn Village offers cafes, boutique shopping and a range of service retailers ie hairdresser, pharmacy and general store.
The cottage is a one room, self contained building with separate ensuite, and a short walk down from the road.
It is bright and warm and compact. A perfect place for a weekend break or a longer stay in Wellington.
Special conditions:
The cottage is a very short walk down ( steps and path) so is not suitable for wheelchair access.
Linen is included as is tea plunger coffee and milk.

Lovely place to stay in Wellington.

Once we got the communication working the welcome couldn't have been warmer. The little cottage was just great, and a lot of thought had gone into making it so. All in all lovely, and Brenda made time for us and was so helpful.

Lovely Cottage

The cottage sits above the city, with a spectacular view. The owners allowed us to use their deck area and enjoy a glass of wine. It is a nice walk to the city and very close to the cable car, if needed.

Brenda's cottage was perfect for the couple of nights we stayed in Wellington. Quick access to town (walking distance) and great to have the cable car to bring you up again after a day exploring. Lovely and tidy place and super friendly and acoomodating hosts. Would recommend!

Kelburn Wellington Cottage

We loved our stay in this beautifully presented cottage separate from owners home in lovely garden with everything we needed. Only minutes to our daughters new flat, the cute village of Kelburn for meals, and down to the city. Out hosts were very friendly and welcoming and helpful with our parking requirements. Will definitely stay again when we visit our family and explore the city further. Very close walking distance to Cable Car but didnt have time to use this trip. Thank you so much - Karen and Tony
