It's also a great space to sit in and relax, write, watch TV or movies, or simply share good times with friends and family.

There's off street parking for one car (or more with notice), and a shared BBQ if that's your thing on a sunny day/evening.

If you wish to have a fifth guest, we can hire a single fold out bed for an additional cost. This would be used in the living room or either bedroom. We can also provide a cot for hire.
Special conditions:
- Be a clean and tidy guest
- Parking is available for two vehicles on site, and on street parking in abundance
- Security Bond may be required - details and costs will be provided upon confirming any booking.

Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$20.00 per stay); Linen (Required, NZ$5.00 per stay); Single Fold Out Bed (Optional, NZ$25.00 per night and included where you book for 5 guests); Cot and Linen (Optional, NZ$20.00 per night);

Great Stay!

We stayed here for a few days with our 3 kids so we could have a good base to then go and explore Wellington. It was very comfortable for us and easy to then head out and explore both Miramar and the downtown core. The beds were comfortable and the place lovely and bright.

Location excellent for getting around Wellington. Clean and plenty of room for our group. Kitchen is well equipped - a second hot plate would be useful for a longer stay or a larger number of guests.
