This is a former lodge converted into a home large space with interior decorations depicting its heritage. The interior is of high quality and a recently renovated bathroom and (well appointed ) kitchen. The main street (Jackson) is a short walk away.

The kitchen was fully equipped and the instructions on how to use things was thorough. I really appreciated the owners making time to assist with the issue we had with the gas tank. Lots to do in Petone and a quick train ride into Wellington for a change of pace. Go Phoenix!

A grand piece of history in Petone

Don't be discouraged by the outside appearance of this gem of a place. As soon as you enter you are presented with a spacious, verging on opulent living space. Everything was as listed. Beautifully maintained and clean, we had a cosy couple of nights during some petty awful weather. Underfloor heating, comfortable beds, efficient heating was just what we needed.Only minute criticism was no coffee plunger but everything else was great. I have never seen so many towels in one cupboard and the library was interesting. An added bonus was waking up to the sound of tuis in the trees. Perfect location for places to eat, groceries and an ice cream on the beach. Transport links were a breeze.We chose this place as my son lives and works in Petone (Lighthouse Cinema - worth a visit) and was a pleasant change from staying in the city. Surprisingly quiet and peaceful. Highly recommend this accommodation.

Central, spacious and quirky

Centrally located with easy access to public transport to Wellington. Slightly awkward layout with toilet downstairs from 2 bedrooms and across the living room from the 3rd. Cleaning could have been more thorough, but the main things were fine. An unusual place to stay. Comfortable and convenient. No useable outside space though, unless you count the balcony off one bedroom.Definitely hasn't got a garden, just a concrete parking area with a pot plant. Over all a good option for a visit to Wellington.plant.andconvenient.
