Unique accommodation in quiet street ideal for families / groups.

Loved the historical ambience of the building, and the modern conveniences incorporated in period style. Comfortable beds and plentiful kitchen-ware and linen available to use. Surprised by the lack of actual wine glasses so we used tumblers and beer handles! An expresso machine would have topped it off!

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.

Fabulous blend of old and new

We loved this place! The building is old and charming, but fantastically and beautifully maintained. Its very spacious inside, with three large bedrooms, a cavernous living / dining space, and the biggest kitchen of any place we stayed in NZ. The kitchen is fully modernized and thoughtfully outfitted. Its also the only place we stayed that had a clothes washer, dryer, AND a dishwasher. So convenient. Its just a block away from the many shops along the strip in Petone, but enough that it was plenty quiet. Similarly Petone is far enough from downtown Wellington to be more relaxed and less harried but still easy to zip down there for Wellington attractions. Absolutely one of our favorite stays.

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.

So glad we stayed as the property is spacious, well set up to prepare home—style meals and so close to a few great restaurants. The beach is just a short stroll away and the public transport into Wellington is close and surprisingly efficient. Really enjoyed our stay in Petone.
