Thorndon Heritage Listed Villa

Wellington

Located in Wellington, near Wellington Botanical Gardens and Beehive Parliament Building, the historic Thorndon Heritage Listed Villa features a garden.

Werner
From

The apartment we stayed in was on the first floor of a villa in Thorndon, located next to the German Embassy. The bedroom was large and nicely furnished, with very comfortable beds. A second room used as lounge (technically well equipped) and a seperate bathroom were also on the first floor and to be used solely by us. The villa is located close to Old St. Pauls and the Government area and a 20 minute walk away from the city center with the wharf, points of interest, museums and shopping-opportunities. Ross is a very nice host and gave us very helpful advice as well as excellent recommendations (e.g. where to go for dinner ;o)) We had an excellent stay and - if travelling to Wellington again - will definitely try to stay at Ross's place again!

Wow I can’t say enough positive things about this place! The hosts were lovely - very accommodating and great communication. The apartment itself was warm and cosy and had absolutely everything we needed for our stay. And the location was outstanding….VERY short walk to gardens and cable car and so handy to everything Wellington has to offer. We wish we could have stayed longer but we will definitely be back.

Ideal location in the city, close to bars and restaurants, comfortable beds (best sleep I’ve had in a long time), good shower in room, friendly staff, budget price but offers the same comforts of more expensive accommodation, and luggage storage available after check-out.

Great location on Ghuznee St by Cuba St, easy to walk everywhere and a very reasonable rate compared to other hotels. The staff were also great to deal with and very helpful. Very clean and comfortable room with table and two chairs and a well equipped kitchen area (fridge, 2 rings and microwave) to self cater if needed. Good heating/aircon. I had a quiet room on the back of the hotel. The continental breakfast was great with a fresh muffin too. Very close to the Wellington Eye Centre if you need to stay over as I did.
