The space
Your host Trevor is a builder and has created a unique self contained unit in his family home for you to relax in. A lot of thought and work has gone into making this a special place, while having all the mod. cons of a new house, double glazing , insulation ect it retains charm and character by the use of recycled native timber and interesting architectual features including hand crafting unique art works from recycled wood that came out of the house during renovation. There is a pleasant outdoor courtyard for your use

Guest access
guests have a whole 2 bedroom self contained unit to themselves. The courtyard is shared space although we only use it for coming / going and grocery delivery

Other things to note
located up steep drive and steep steps. there is also a step in the unit separating lounge and kitchen. we have young children living upstairs which kids being kids you may here from time to time.

Comfortable beds, well presented and functional, nice shower. Easy check in process. The steep drive was a bit of a challenge for us initially, but is pretty typical of inner city Wellington properties! Would stay again.

The property was truly a gem. The place was clean and tidy when we arrived. It had everything we needed to make meals in the kitchen. My kids enjoyed the nice selection of children's books and games. The property was only a 10 minute drive to the CBD. Buses were only a 5 minute walk away. Trevor and family were lovely and helpful hosts. This was a great property to stay at, I highly recommend it.

We were near everything but didn’t feel like we were in the city. Had a great stay and cooked full meals in the kitchen. Major perk was the laundry machines. Highly recommend this little house in a wonderful neighborhood.
