As close to the ocean as possible
A beautiful home, with a wonderful view. It was nice to get away from the city and have a comfortable place to relax, but still be close enough for any of the city activities. A truly wonderful property, and a highlight experience.

Little gem by the sea
Great spot to stay in Eastbourne area. Plop yourself down here and relax in this very unique slice of paradise. We loved our stay, the views, the rolling waves, running out to the beach, having dinner in front patio, an outdoor bath. Take a sunset stroll along the esplanade and a morning walk to the shops for coffee, pastries, fresh produce… 5* stay but couple things to note. Online listing needs a refresh since the main pics are outdated (e.g., front patio has more privacy but the views are obstructed due to mature plantings). I’d prefer more view by trimming back growth. Second bedroom had an old / damaged mattress that should’ve been replaced long before our stay — the manager thanked us for pointing it out and planned to address with owners. Full time rental shouldn’t have this issue.

Hi Jeremy, thank you for your review and feedback. I can confirm that we will have a complete new bed and mattress in bedroom 2 within the next 2-3 weeks, it has been ordered, but takes time to be delivered, so grateful for your mum pointing this out to me. Many thanks for your feed back

This cottage is a true gem. So comfortable and the views are incredible. We walked the beach, hiked and loved watching the ferries come and go out of Wellington. Will definitely return. Rob and Lori

3rd time at Guthrey Cottage
Excellent, as previously - a happy place for the whole family. Sitting on the seawall staring out to sea and watching the beach is a good way to spend much of the day! Managers super-helpful in helping reunite us with a couple of things left behind too. Recommended.

This beautifully outfitted, recently remodeled property was the perfect getaway. It was lovely waking up to look out the front window at the water every morning and having everything we needed to be able to cook in the well-stocked kitchen. Had a wonderful stay and would definitely go back!

Winter Relaxation
A beautiful location and a very relaxing stay. Would definitely recommend for a break away! We actually live in Wellington but as we are currently living on our boat while we build our a new home, we were looking for some land time and some bath time to relax in the winter months. Was perfect for us!

We were visiting family in Eastbourne but just needed a place to stay that was independent and Guthrie Cottage was perfect. Unfortunately too cold to use the outdoor bath, which was a shame. It was one of the coldest weeks in Wellington this year but our welcome home was warm.

Unexpectedly Delighted
I knew I would enjoy this place but it was an even better experience than I'd anticipated. The photos of the unit are accurate, the description is accurate. The home is solid, well appointed, intelligently designed. What's hard to capture is the beauty of the setting. Cozy and interesting residential neighborhood. Gentle beach with no crowds, just locals who enjoy their daily walks or a few who come out to play with their dogs and in the evening those who come out to witness the absolutely most stunning sunsets over the hills beyond the water. Lovingly maintained trail(s) in the hills. Appliances and kitchen items are high end, generous and thoughtful. Spacious bathroom with a great tub (and shower), comfortable bed. Amazing view enjoyable from living room and master bedroom. Not too far from Wellington (an easy enough drive to City Center) but feels a world away from the City. Basic groceries plus a good butcher and liquor and produce and takeaway nearby, or just a little further afield you can find more options. As a roadtrip traveler in NZ found this a perfect place to relax, unwind and stay put for a while....and perfect as well to venture out to the City or to nature with ease. You may not want to leave...!
