Seatoun townhouse - a stone's throw to the sea

4.78 out of 5 average rating, 18 reviews1 month ago

Sue’s home was comfortable, welcoming, and beautiful in equal measure. There were 4 of us and we loved the indoor-outdoor flow, the well-appointed kitchen along with the lovely peaceful decor and light filled interior. The bedrooms were beautiful and spacious with plenty of natural light. We used the house as a base for my daughter’s engagement ceremony and party which were happening just a 10 minutes’ walk down the road at Seatoun Village Hall. It was so close by and a perfect space to get ready in for such a big moment! We also took many walks along the beach which is just on the other side of the boardwalk and to Seatoun shops. Sue was generous and welcoming with her space and included lots of thoughtful details such as an emergency kit with food and water in the event we needed it. We highly recommend her home to anyone and would happily stay here again.

Seaside Coastal Retreat

5 out of 5 average rating, 3 reviews2 months ago

I have the loveliest stay here. The place was perfect, it was such a bonus being just across the road from the marine reserve. I went for multiple snorkels (seeing nudibranchs, brittlestars and wandering anemone) and it was wonderful to be able to pop back across the road into a (great quality) hot shower immediately after. It was very easy to get into the city from here too, both by car and public transport. Linda incredibly helpful and friendly and I can’t thank her enough. Will definitely be checking the availability of this property next time I’m in Wellington!

This could not have been any better! Very clear instructions, special space and surroundings. From the extra touches, to the friendly chats, my wee home away from home felt serene. Open and light, airy and cozy. This place has it all. Rain on the skylight, sounds of the sea on the peaceful morning, stunning sunsets and cozy bed. It is under there home but you have all the space and privacy you could want. I think you need to stay here!
