Tinakori Village Retreat - Renovated apartment in a charming heritage building

Our beautifully renovated one-bedroom apartment is nestled in a charming heritage building in Wellington's historic Tinakori Village and is perfectly located whether you are in Wellington for business or pleasure.

The large living space seamlessly combines contemporary design with the character of the building's rich history. The open-plan layout allows natural light to flood the room with modern lighting lifting the open roof space.

The large comfy sofa is great to relax and put your feet up after a busy day at work or exploring the city. The Smart TV and fibre broadband will enable you to work, stream movies, or both!

The modern kitchen has everything you need for your stay including tea and coffee supplies, a microwave/oven and dishwasher.

The bedroom is sumptuously furnished with a range of pillows to ensure you have a blissful sleep. The bedside unit has USB sockets to enable you to charge your phone overnight.

As you step outside the building you will find yourself on Tinakori Road in the heart of Tinakori Village with its historical buildings, antique shops and charming cafes and restaurants. A little further up the road you will find the Botanic Gardens with the iconic cable car that will take you down to Lambton Quay and from there to all that Wellington has to offer. For business travellers Parliament and the CBD are a 5-6 minute walk down Bowen or Hill Street.

Outstanding apartment and location

We loved this modern apartment in historic Tinakori Village. Shops and restaurants are steps away, the botanical garden is a short walk, and access to central Wellington is a less than 15 minute walk. The apartment is so well appointed, with modern furnishings and thoughtful details. Communication with the owners was terrific. Definitely recommend!

Tinakori Village

We loved staying in your property, which you have renovated to a high standard. It was ideally located for the Botanic Gardens, city, and Zealandia. The recommendations for restaurants was very helpful. We had fun negotiating the Tinoraki Village parking limits, but we succeeded every day! Thank you

Lovely apartment, great goodies left for us and very well appointed.

Excellent. We very much enjoyed our 2 night stay . Great location. Good communication and very well appointed. The only complication for us was trying to underatand the parking, im not sure the owners could have explained it any better but it was the first time we had come across parking restrictions in NZ and they are complicated !!
