The location is perfect for the best beaches, and te papa museum, Weta workshop and shopping and paua diving! The host was wonderful and made sure there was a bed made up for each of our 14 people.It was a wonderful stay, a place we could make a big pot of soup on a could night and not have to go to a restaurant. Only slight downside ‘a lot of stairs’ due to being on the hill, but the view is worth it!
Our family enjoyed staying at this property. It had plenty of room and the location was close to downtown and easily walkable. We had great communication with the property manager. We would definitely stay here again!
This is the second time we've stayed at this fantastic place and it was just as good as the first time (which was 7 years ago).The place is very warm and welcoming, super clean (really the cleanest place we've ever stayed at). The view is amazing and it only a short walk into the city. Perfect for a group get away.We also liked the added touch of a pillow menu, so you get the best nights sleep.Thanks again for having us.
Fabulous!!. the view, the cleanliness, the friendly custodian, everything we could possibly need available. Parking was well explained. Steps and entrance are steep and would be a problem for some. Great location, easy access to town. THANKS - wonderful memories made.
We were delighted with our stay. We were on a Family holiday with 8 of us. The accommodation was clean, well positioned for our Wellington activities, quiet and well equipped. Would highly recommend!
OB Retreat is fabulous with everything you’ll need
As a group of ladies having a large house with 2 bathrooms was just what we needed. The house is superbly appointed with absolutely everything you’ll need and a Gorgeous view to boot. We would highly recommend this property and we would rent it again.
What an amazing property. For a group of 10 ladies, there was plenty of room and a bed for each person. Absolutely stunning views. Communication was seamless and easy. Would love to come back with my family one day!
What can i say .....it surpassed all expectations.....the location was just perfect .....close to the city .....the beach and the esplanade.the huge picture window looking over the bay was just stunning. Plenty of room for all our family staying and the coming and goings of . Carolyn was amazing to deal with from start to finish ....we had a fantastic time in a fantastic home ....
This was a perfect house for our group of 12 women staying in Wellington for the Women's World Cup. The house was spacious with wonderful views of the Bay (and the stadium across the bay). Loads of natural light through large front windows. Kitchen was well equipped too, so we were able to save some money by cooking.
I'm pleased we booked this lovely house in Oriental Parade. For 10 of us having two bathrooms and numerous bedrooms we had plenty of space and no tripping over each other.
The accommodation is spotless. A lot of work has gone into the bedding, it's immaculate, comfy and clean.
Excellent communication and clear instructions, Carolyn is a thoughtful and caring host. Having the two car parks was extremely useful for us. The location is still walking distance to downtown though or a quick uber.
Loved sitting in the lounge watching the shipping action on the harbour.

Beautiful house
Loved our stay at Carolyn’s beautiful Oriental Bay house. The perfect base for going to a wedding on the waterfront. It had everything we needed and Carolyn was welcoming and on hand with any questions we had.
