Perfect for us
I'm pleased we booked this lovely house in Oriental Parade. For 10 of us having two bathrooms and numerous bedrooms we had plenty of space and no tripping over each other. The accommodation is spotless. A lot of work has gone into the bedding, it's immaculate, comfy and clean. Excellent communication and clear instructions, Carolyn is a thoughtful and caring host. Having the two car parks was extremely useful for us. The location is still walking distance to downtown though or a quick uber. Loved sitting in the lounge watching the shipping action on the harbour.

Ideal for big group
This was a perfect house for our group of 12 women staying in Wellington for the Women's World Cup. The house was spacious with wonderful views of the Bay (and the stadium across the bay). Loads of natural light through large front windows. Kitchen was well equipped too, so we were able to save some money by cooking.

We have stayed in this house for 6 days with 9 of us including 3young children. The house is well organised with comfortable bedding and everything we needed to celebrate 40th birthday for our daughter. The house is built on the hill side and 2 minutes walking to Oriental Bay. Lovely walking path is nearby. We enjoyed staying at OB retreat very much.

Excellent location and property
We had a great time in this stunning property. It was like staying in a resort hotel. The views from the house are amazing. Communication with the owner was first class. We only very small issue is that it is on a steep hill BUT we were told about this and to be honest, this is Wellington folks, and all houses are on hills.
