Cool place to stay.

I didn't read the details properly before booking. It said two could stay but i mistook that for two rooms. You provided a divan. I slept on that and my stster loved the main bedroom. The stairs were interesting and that was something else i should have checked on because of my sister. A good workout for me with the luggage. I was worried about us making too much noise because it is an old creaky house. I loved it. Thank you.

Wonderful Wellington villa

We spent two nights at this heritage village in Wellington. Walking distance to the city centre, right next door to the Katherine Mansfield birthplace museum, and extremely well appointed. Highly recommended for couples.

About the host

Hosted by Ross Hughson

My wife and I live in the other half of the house, so are generally close by if you need us. We will always aim to greet you on arrival if at all possible, but if not, we will provide clear instructions for you. There is a locked door between your half of the top floor and where we live, so you do not need to interact with us if you do not want to, even when you come and go you will be unlikely to see us as we usually come and go through a separate entrance / garage.

Why they chose this property

You will have your own space in this Heritage listed Villa built in 1883. Thorndon is New Zealand' s oldest suburb. We are walking distance from the Thorndon village, the city, the Parliamentary precinct, the Sky Stadium and the Railway Station. The ferry terminal is a 5-10 minute Uber ride away.

What makes this property unique

There is a large internal landing adjoining the main bedroom, the lounge/study, and the bathroom that you will have full use of as well. A table is set up on the landing with microwave, jug and toaster, a small fridge for your use. Crockery, cutlery and glasses are nearby including complementary tea, coffee and hot chocolate. The whole area you will have for your sole use measures approximately 11 x 6 meters (66 sqm).
