Thank you again for your kind words — you’re most welcome back anytime.
We did not need to cook but we did walk up the mountain behind the home and had a great view up there. Handy to everything in town.Very clean room and accommodation was perfect for us. Took a while to come to grips with how the roads work in Wellington but in the end, work with Google Maps and all fine.

Thank you for your lovely review. We’re so pleased you enjoyed your stay in the studio and found it clean and comfortable. The walk up the hill behind the house really does reward you with beautiful views, so we’re glad you had the chance to experience that. Wellington’s roads can certainly take a little getting used to, but it sounds like you mastered them well with Google Maps! We hope you had a wonderful time exploring the city and would be delighted to host you again in the future.

About the host
Hosted by Pauline Poi & Julie Chan
You are hosted by friendly and hospitable Pauline & Julie, originally from Malaysia but proud to be a Wellingtonian and have lived in Brooklyn for more than 30 years. Love travelling both locally and overseas and food are their passion. They will make your stay in Wellington an enjoyable one.
Why they chose this property
Brooklyn is one of the coolest suburb of Wellington. The panoramic view is so captivating that we bought the land and built a home on it. We love the quiet neighbourhood , the reserve is just at our back door and the closeness to the city. Wellington is dubbed the "The coolest little capital in the world" by Lonely Planet. It merges big city culture with small town charm. It is celebrated as New Zealand’s arts, film, coffee, culinary, craft beer, events and political capital.
What makes this property unique
From the bay window, you can relax and enjoy the lavender bush and stunning view of the Wellington Harbour. Plenty of free on-street parking is available. The bus stop is just 7 minutes (500m) walk away and the buses to the city operate 7 days a week. A 25 minute walk to the city through the Central Park is invigorating. The Waimapihi Reserve and the wind turbine just at our back door. It is just 1 minute (68m) walk to the entrance. A less than 5 minutes’ drive to enjoy either eat-your-heart-out at the best eateries in town, a movie at the Penthouse Cinema, a game of tennis at the Renouf Golf Centre or for a game of out-of-this-world mini golf at Calucci Land, a unique Wellington landmark with remarkable artworks.
