ABSOLUTELY SENSATIONAL
An absolute privilege and pleasure to stay in such a luxuriously renovated 1912 Hall. So large and spacious. Everything you you ever need. Three lovely bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen, dining and living area. Washing machine and dryer. A place to park your car. Pure luxury. So close to everything, but nice and quiet. Very safe. So beautifully clean.

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!

Awesome stay
I stayed here with my groomsmen over a period of 3 days and we absolutely loved it, the place was beautiful and furnishings fit in so well. Communication between us and the host was so easy and they even came to unlock the door for us when we locked the keys inside on accident. 10/10 would definitely stay again.

Our group, three fathers supporting sons at a local sports tournament, had a very comfortable stay. Plenty of resources handy - many eateries within walking distance. The hosts are very responsive to any questions asked.

Huge place in Petone
I am really glad we chose this place for our few days in Wellington. I would happily stay here again and recommend it to friends. The whole place feels freshly remodeled. The owners/managers are very responsive. There is a great coffee shop one block down the street where we would grab breakfast every day. Petone is a great neighborhood with easy access to Wellington to the south and the wine country to the northeast.

After checking in, we went for a walk along the beach, which was only about 3 blocks away. There was plenty of thins to do and eat “downtown”, which was s within a short walking distance. For 2 of us, the place was huge, but we enjoyed our stay a LOT.

Petone
Petone is a beautiful town, close to Wellington Harbour, it has some great places to eat and an amazing gluten free bakery. A highlight was a communal water foutain in the main street with natural spring water. The locals come each morning to fill up their drinking water containers, this water is wonderful

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.

Amazing old lodge
Great location, short walk into the main street with many restaurants. Easy on street parking. Lodge itself huge and really interesting, loved all the wood. Well equipped kitchen and lovely bathroom. Downsides - no real outside space, small balcony accessed from one of the bedrooms but not an interesting view.

Lovely place really homely.
Great and comfortable love staying at the Orange Lodge has everything u need nice and close to the shops and beach. Would actually love a spa perhaps out the back in the courtyard would make the place 200% and cosey you wouldn't want to leave but apart from that wonderful getaway place from the moment you walk in the door you already free like your on holiday it's like you feel like you are wherever you wanna be u could be anywhere really Paris Bali etc etc cause you only can see the blue sky and sunshine coming through the windows so u could be anywhere and it's great so private aswell you don't even have to close the curtains it's that private it's soo lovely would definitely come back for sure it's our 2nd time already and it won't be our last. Kind regards Mel & Rusty.
