An absolutely gorgeous house in an idyllic spot, overlooking the Wellington Harbour. Guthrie Cottage had everything we needed, and nothing we didn't.

Farm Stay Studio - Cottage

CindiRating, 5 stars6 months ago

Thank you Tania. Absolutely perfect for my daughter and I. We are country lovers so this couldn’t have been better for us. Loved looking at the horses out the window / door. Loved the sounds of the birds in the evening and the morning. I got a little confused finding the cottage at first as I went up the left driveway to the main house, not the right driveway. But was able to get hold of Tania promptly and she was able to redirect me. This is a beautiful rustic type cottage with the space really well thought out. I didn’t mind the kitchenette in the bathroom. Obviously as long as you keep everything sanitary as you use it it’s not an issue. Kind of the same situation if you were to stay in a caravan everything is close together amenities wise. Was nice and warm and super cosy. Would absolutely stay here again. Thanks so much for your kind, friendly and inviting hospitality.

Slice of seaside heaven lost in the bush

RyanRating, 5 stars103 months ago

What an amazing place, with a view even more stunning than it appears in the photo! Everyday I felt compelled to take a photo of the constantly changing scene laid out in a 180 degree panorama. Benoit was a very thoughtful and responsive host, and it was everything my family (two adults, two kids) needed for our visit to Wellington. It is a very comfortable and beautiful house, and a handy location including shops a few minutes drive away and a great cafe a few minutes walk down the path. Although looks a bit out of town on the map, it is a short and easy drive into the city. Oscar the cat was soon part of the family and our son was very sad to say goodbye!

The grand Tudor-style estate is shown from the front, surrounded by lush greenery and manicured hedges. The multi-level house features numerous windows, providing an inviting atmosphere. A decorative stone pathway leads up to the entrance, offering a glimpse of well-established trees and garden plantings.

We loved our stay at Little 6. Rochelle is a fantastic host - she communicated well, provided clear instructions, and was super responsive. From the homemade granola to coffee pods and bottle of juice, we were made to feel welcome. Titahi Bay is an awesome location to stay when travelling to Wellington.

Studio by the Sea

FelixRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Came back to stay at the place for a second time… Beautiful surroundings, great interior, super friendly and supportive hosts. Equipped with everything you need. If you are looking for a quiet and relaxed space to unwind, this is it. Wellington’s beautiful south coast is right out the front door. One of the best Airbnb stays I had. Not a spare room that was turned into a guest bedroom or a company managed apartment, but a well crafted, private and self-sufficient little studio with great design which is run by a cool and welcoming family. Would book it again anytime.
