My first experience with a bed and breakfast. Janice and Brent were great host. Great priced room with an awesome view. Very close to Wellington Airport where we were flying out. We were greeted at the door by Janice, she showed us our room and amenities. We then went upstairs to where breakfast would be served and we met Brent.
The view was awesome, from the second floor even better. It was a bit windy out, but we took a walk to the monument and got an amazing ocean view. We got to see the plans flying into Wellington and the ferries making their way towards Picton.
We brought in our bags and looked through the binder of things to know, as well as restaurants in the area. Pricing was a little out of date, but you kind of get to know the cuisine.
The room was very clean. Clean smelling and tidy. The closet has been converted into a little bar area. Mini fridge, cups and mugs, tea, coffee. There was water and milk in the fridge. A water boiler too.
The bed was pretty comfy. Shower was nice and hot. There was a heated towel rack. The walls were a bit thin, but overall it was nice.
We had already made arrangements about breakfast the night before, so we woke up and made our way upstairs. There were a couple different types of cereal, vanilla greek yogurt, fruit of all types. Janice had coffee, tea and juice available.
We started with what was on the table. Janice made bacon and eggs with toast. It was delicious. Crispy bacon. Had a nice chat with Janice and Brent before we had to pack up and leave.
We definately recommend staying here a couple days or longer. A bit of a crazy road due to the narrowness despite being a two way street and cars parking on the street that take up the entire lane. Dangerous when people drive too fast around the corners, easier to see at night due...
Read moreWe simply loved the place. Probably the best place we stayed in NZ and it was mainly due to the lovely host Janice and Brent. The location is superb if you have a car. In a nice locality and on a hill top overlooking the Pacific. We had a great view from our room as well as from the place we had breakfast. Room was snug but tastefully decorated with Victorian furniture and superb linen. The toilet was a bit small but again quite functional. The vibe was too good and that made all the difference. We felt AT HOME. Of course, Janice takes care of all small aspects and one has to stay and leave the room in ship shape which is our forte anyway, so we gelled on that front a lot. Janice was also so friendly that she asked us to go out after putting our clothes for washing and she put them on the clothes line very neatly.||We were touched when Janice made breakfast for us and cooked omelette as we liked. The breakfast was again like home and Brent was a great host with all his chats as Janice cooked away. ||Nothing that we can say for not...
Read moreAbsolutely awesome!!!!!
Me and my partner stayed here for a short break/introduction to Wellington, we were both amazed!
We arrived late due to travel but they guys here had made everything nice and smooth for us to get in and to bed. Next morning we went into breakfast, a great continental spread with coffee and even eggs on toast! (Double yolks were amazing, although I can't guarantee others will get this on their visit 🤣🤣) Brent and Janice were both extremely friendly, knowledgeable and happy to have a chat.
Nearby we visited Weta workshop, the city centre and museum. I'd recommend the museum and Weta! Also found a great vegetarian food joint (recommended by Brent) all pretty close.
Wellington is a lovely city to visit, so do it, but if you do this is the place you need to stay! Highly recommended and if we're in the area again we'll be returning.
Thanks for an awesome stay...
