Outstanding apartment and location

We loved this modern apartment in historic Tinakori Village. Shops and restaurants are steps away, the botanical garden is a short walk, and access to central Wellington is a less than 15 minute walk. The apartment is so well appointed, with modern furnishings and thoughtful details. Communication with the owners was terrific. Definitely recommend!

I had a lovely stay. The property is charming and very clean. There was even a delicious block of Whittaker’s chocolate waiting for me on arrival. There were a few clod days in Wellington during my stay but I was very cozy and warm inside the property with the heat-pump and heated floor tiles in the kitchen and the bathroom.The kitchen is well-appointed.The location is perfect, very close to the beautiful Wellington Botanic Gardens and close enough to walk into the CBD. Tinakori Village is delightful and has eateries - cafes and historic pub.Would definitely love to stay again.

Tinakori Village

We loved staying in your property, which you have renovated to a high standard. It was ideally located for the Botanic Gardens, city, and Zealandia. The recommendations for restaurants was very helpful. We had fun negotiating the Tinoraki Village parking limits, but we succeeded every day! Thank you
