Modern rural living

Martin & AnnieRating, 5 stars4 days ago
We stayed at Kimberley & Jamie’s lovely place for a week while working in the area. What a good choice it turned out to be. Set in an incredible spot on top of a hill, the Airbnb is pristine, peaceful, warm and well-equipped. The hosts are discreet, responsive and flexible. We enjoyed every minute even in the wildest of weather! Highly recommended.

Ponsonby Hills

MichaelRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Great location away from the CBD. Very nice, private, and comfortable place to spend a few days in Wellington. Perfect, if you're planning on spending some time at Zealandia. It was peaceful to wake up to a great view of the sunrise covering the hills and native birds flying about. We spotted Wood Pigeons, Tui, and Kaka birds from the property. Spacious place. Wish we had stayed longer.

Charming character cottage with privacy and views

JoRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Lovely quiet stay at Judi’s place, good to not be in the centre of everything for a couple of nights. There were very detailed instructions on accessing the driveway etc, and disclaimers on the steepness and stairs - which all should note, and consider carefully before booking, particularly in relation to suitability with bags and luggage. Judi was very pleasant to communicate with, and made it all easy.
