  • OB Retreat – Your Wellington Escape in Oriental Bay

    Welcome to OB Retreat — a spacious, beautifully maintained six‑bedroom home with sweeping harbour views and everything you need for a comfortable, restorative stay in one of Wellington’s most loved suburbs. With generous living areas, a well‑equipped kitchen, two bathrooms, and unlimited fibre wifi, it’s ideal for families, friends, and corporate groups.

    Just one street back from the beach, OB Retreat offers the perfect balance of tranquillity and convenience. Cafés, Te Papa, Tākina, the waterfront, parks, and city walks are all moments away. The balcony is a favourite spot for morning coffee or unwinding as the harbour lights come on.

    We live upstairs with separate access and are happy to help as much or as little as you desire. 

    We’re part of a close residential neighbourhood, so we ask guests to be mindful of noise and enjoy the space respectfully. This helps us keep OB Retreat a calm, welcoming place for everyone.

    Whether you’re here for work or play, OB Retreat is your home away from home in beautiful Oriental Bay.
