About this property

Pacific Oceanfront 3b2b home near airport with stunning views

Feel like you are captain of your own ship at this SEA-sational Pacific Ocean coastal home. Houghton Bay is located between Lyall & Island Bays. The beaches are popular with surfers, swimmers & divers. The zoo & airport are only 4km (perfect for early flights) & the home is handy to city centre museums, cable car, events & waterfront sightseeing. There’s mini golf within a wonderland sculpture park a 5min drive. Return home to explore rock pools or stroll past snorkelers (you can book lessons) to Bait House aquarium or the children’s playground at delightful Island Bay & treat yourself to coffee or ice-cream. You can see Princess Beach from the windows. It’s, famous for gorgeous sunsets across snowy South Island mountains.
This 1950’s home has been extensively redesigned for comfortable living with a vintage vibe. Cosy for 2 but spacious enough for 6 max guests.
10 external stairs to 1st level entry & 3 stylish bedrooms with queen beds, facing the sea & a bathroom. The top level has open plan living/kitchen & 2nd bathroom, with stunning ocean views. Enjoy dolphin spotting, ships & aeroplanes or watch locals on The Great Southern Walkway in front. This extends to Red Rocks & a visitor centre - a must see. Relax on the large patio deck with a drink & book or stay warm & cosy in front of huge windows, watching the magnificent Pacific Ocean. There’s a bench & stools to catch up with work on your laptop or board games for the family.
Create meals to share in the full kitchen, order in for a break from meal prep & dishes or try beachfront cafes nearby. Book this unique home, in a fabulous location now.
Other things to note:
Free off-road parking nook & bus stops opposite. There are the sounds of ocean waves. Road in front can be busy, though bedroom windows are double glazed.
Please respect our home - no parties, pets or smoking inside. Outside camera for guest safety and host security. Breaking news:
This home was chosen by Australia’s channel 9 programme, called Travel Guides to film for an episode on Wellington!
The film crew booked for 2 days to film footage in front of the big lounge windows. They are up to series 9 in Australia, while in NZ on our screens we are up to series 6, so it will be a while before we see the episode. So excited - it’s a great honour to be chosen from all the hotels and homes in Wellington. Book and you will see why.

Amazing Sea Views
Loved the sea views from upstairs floor and downstairs from bedroom. Lovely and clean, good heat pump. Stairs are quite steep but were no worries for us. Would stay again.

Delightful!
We really enjoyed our stay in this home! The views are incredibly beautiful. Julie the host is thoughtful and supplied everything we needed. We loved Wellington as well. We used the city bus system almost exclusively and it took us everywhere we wanted to go. We enjoyed the cable car and the Wellington Botanical Gardens were exquisite. The Te Papa museum is a must see. The Grocer’s Shed, a short walk from the house, has delicious food, coffee, and ice cream. We would love to return and would definitely stay in this home again. Highly recommended!

We enjoyed the comfort and beauty of this very clean and inviting property. It was necessary to have a car to explore all that Wellington has to offer but found cafes and spots nearby that also enriched our trip. Communication was initially difficult just prior to our stay because our hosts were away, but as soon as they returned, they were immensely helpful and accommodating!
