A darling little place with a lovely view, conveniently close to Wellington by car or train. Julie was a pleasure and was very flexible when our ferry got rescheduled at the last minute. Highly recommended!

Classy Cottage
This is a very cute little cottage. Yes, it’s tiny, but has everything you need and then some, including a wonderful view! A beautiful patio area is great for lounging and enjoying that view. Julie is a joy! She is a great hostess, and very helpful about touring the area. A great stay!!

Bijou Stay In Plimmerton
The host Julie was very hospitable and easy to communicate with - she lives nest door. The property is very, very small and was a just get by for a couple of nights. We were visiting Wellington therefore ideal as a base.

We really enjoyed our stay. The space was perfect for a couple. It is very clean and comfortable and there is a great attention to detail. The sitting area outside has an amazing view and this is where we enjoyed our coffee every morning. Julie was a lovely host.

Cute little cottage on a hill in Plimmerton
This was a very quaint and cute hideaway in Plimmerton. A little hard to access but lots of privacy. We found it was pretty small. Good view of the water from up on the hill. Owner is friendly.

Surrounded by bush, you are awaken by bird call in the morning. Nice walking distance (hill climb back) to the sea and village eateries. Easy to catch train into Wellington. The bach is very compact.

Delightful studio with everything you need to relax. Julie is a great hostess who was there to greet me. Lovely private treetop space with beautifully decorated outdoor areas to relax in as well. but easily walkable to the beach, cafes and fish and chips. I could only spend one night this time but really enjoyed the break here and fitted in a lovely swim and walks. Plimmerton is a delightful beach community. Thanks very much for sharing this treasure.
