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.

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.
