My daughters and I had a wonderful Easter based at Ross and Vickie's place. It is a beautiful comfortable historic home which met all our needs.
Ross was a wonderful host, kind and attentive.
We would love to stay again.
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.
A beautiful old villa in great condition warm and welcoming. Walking distance into Wellingtons CBD, while we stayed we walked almost everywhere, plenty of good places to eat nearby.
Great host whom gives plenty of privacy but is on hand for what ever you may need, very helpful.
Thank you Ross we loved our stay with you and will definitely stay again.
An excellent experience. A beautifully renovated old villa, very clean and comfortable and within easy walking distance of downtown Wellington. Great communication from Ross - would highly recommend.
Close to Ferry terminal, for a departure the next morning
Unit is secound floor and very large
Clean, bright, and super bathroom
No kitchenette- more of a super upscale hotel room
Would stay again!
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.
Our favourite accommodation on our NZ vacation (from Canada)
Great location, easy walk to the harbour and all the shops, restaurants and museums.
Our hosts were wonderful, providing lots of info and directions for our 4 day stay. Beautiful rooms and decor, very comfortable and relaxing!
Thanks Ross and Vicky, we would absolutely recommend your home and it would be top of the list on another journey in future!
It was a very short stay but we had plenty of room and a luxurious bath that I definitely took advantage of. Host was super helpful in pointing us toward food. Darling little mini town just a short walk away. Highly recommend.
The property was all that you can expect from a period home. Upstairs, big rooms well presented. Away from others. We had three adults which took up the lounge room. so a little cramped. A wonderful lovers location, quiet ideal for two but well workable for three. Host great, easy to contact came and met us on arrival, stayed in touch through all 5 nights. anything we wanted we only had to ask. Good for breakfasts most other eating away from the site. Although on busy street very quiet. Well recommended.
We loved the opportunity to stay in a Heritage House with such beautiful decor and comfort. Ross was very helpful while respecting our privacy. We would be very happy to stay again next time we are in Wellington. Thank you Ross
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.
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.
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).
