    Due to the cancellation of the ferry to Picton, we had to extend our stay. It's just a 15-minute drive to the Interislander ferry. The host is extremely detail-focused. The bed is firm enough to offer the support to the back and soft enough to...

This is a nice home upstairs in central Karori Wellington. Peaceful environment: at the back there's a Bridge across a little stream & many Birds in the trees. Big eels might be found right below the bridge! Convenient location: a few minutes easy walk to the main road for bus, cafe and takeaway. Outdoors: upstairs there is a dining and seating area; downstairs big deck - almost completed. Total 3 rooms upstairs with a great view: 1. Queen and single beds in Large Room with big windows, the TV does NOT work... except guests could use the existing cable to connect their laptop to HDMI3. 2. Double and single beds (formerly bunk bed) in Double wardrobe Room, it's sunny in the morning, close to bathroom, and far away from kitchen. 3. Both the double bed and small single bed (83cm wide) have very thick comfortable mattress in the Single wardrobe Room. It's so sunny and cozy! Kitchen, dining and living are in the same area; no separate living. 1 or 2 guests in each room welcome to stay 1/2-28 nights, 3 guests in one room can stay shorter term for 1/2 - 7 nights. * For a group booking the 3-room entire home upstairs, please send an enquiry to a different listing 'Bridge and Birds'. UPDATE on 12Feb2025: 14-15 March; & 18-20 Aprill - these 5 nights, ONE guest preferred in the 3rd room, parking nearby.
The host was a uni lecturer overseas & a public servant in nz until May 2024, now growing vegetables and flowers (btw sunflowers 🌻blooming from Dec / Jan 😊). FREE seedlings might be available; just ask the host at check-in time. The host stays in the bottom flat or nearby, available for assistance almost any time.
Peaceful quiet [Wifi Nokia..., password on fridge: rQ....] [Air conditioner / heat pump disconnected - to add later after rennovation outdoors]
