Spacious and convenient
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.

The Perfect Location
This was such a unique property and is in the perfect location! Just a short stroll to local shops, cafes and the water front. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay including learning about the history of the building. The hidden toy room under the stairs was a highlight for our two year old son. It had modern amenities and despite being a large open space we were able to heat the home easily. We would stay again next time we visit Petone.

Wonderful place
This home has so much character. I was a bit freaked out upon entering the house as it felt a little Ghost adventure-y...lol. it has a vibe for sure. But its just steeped in history...not ghosties. Super clean. Super comfortable. The locaction was spectacular and a quick walk downtown. Walki nstead of drive, youll get there faster avoiding trying to find downtown parking. The Victoria Tavern was great for dinner. Caffiened was amazing for breakfast. The only problem you might have with the housr is if you have constant nighttime bathroom runs as it is downstairs. Wonderful place!!

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!

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.

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.
