Not to far from the hustle and bustle of the city yet perfectly located for cafés and restaurants
Wellington turned on perfect weather which made the apartments location unbeatable

All went well and will be staying here again as it serves our needs and was perfectly located for us. Thanks to the owners for making sure all was in order.
A lovely apartment within walking distance of city. Everything that we needed plus unexpected bonus of bottle of wine and breakfast butters. Thank you Trevor and Dwayne.
Unfortunately, the place was not very clean upon check in. The owner made an effort to correct the problem. Great location, beautiful view. On street parking was a bit of a hassle. Easy walking distance to the city and attractions.

Comfortable, well equiped and great view.
Great little bed-sitter near the city with wonderful harbour views. Parking can be risky, but usually able to find a spot. Unit is well equiped with all you will need to self-cater meals and catch up with your washing if travelling like we were. (operating instructions for washer/dryer would be helpful).

Every need was catered for and view is amazing. Comfort level excellent and communication super helpful:-)
The apartment and location were fantastic. Unit was very clean and host supplied some basic supplys, including a bottle of wine 😊.
My only disappointed was on communication. There was a COVID level change the day we were due to attend. As result my company closed our work building so I could not work from the office during our stay as planned. I requested to defer my booking however I was advised by the call centre only the host could approve this. However host said the system would not allow them to defer booing so my request was declined.
I therefore had to take leave from work so I could get some return on my booking.
Superb apartment with lovely views of the city. Stunning, especially at night.
An excellent location with easy access to parking and just a leisurely walk to markets, cafes and Te Papa.
We loved the documentation of the buildings history.
Highly recommend.
Thank you Trevor and Dayne.

Great apartment and a terrific view. Very handy to everything around water front. Parking can be a bit testing outside on the road but once you’ve clicked as to when to try and find one it’s not to bad. Looking forward to staying again.
Brilliant thanks we loved this apartment perfect for what we needed and would highly recommend
Would love some scissors in the kitchen please
Parking sometimes a bit tricky thanks Alan & Sally

Beau studio , belle vue
Le logement est très joliment aménagé, la vue à couper le souffle.Très bonne literie.
Un peu difficile d'accès car ni l'immeuble ni l'appartement ne sont faciles à trouver mais les propriétaires, bien que n'étant pas sur place, sont disponibles.
Deux remarques cependant qui ont constitué une gêne pour nous ; l'une à propos du rangement qui est insuffisant.On ne dispose que d'une seule étagère au dessus de la penderie,par conséquent, on ne peut pas vider les valises et elles encombrent la pièce. L'autre remarque concerne l'absence d'étendoir à linge. Le lave linge sèche également mais pas tout et pas bien.
Ces petits inconvénients ne nous ont pas gâché notre séjour, on gardera le souvenir de bons moments passés devant la baie.

Originally from Wellington, we have spent many enjoyable times at Oriental Bay. We purchased this property so we could have a permanent place to hang out in Oriental Bay and would love to share this with you.
Why they chose this property
The peace and tranquillity looking across the harbour and no matter the weather, this is a truly awesome outlook.
