Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pauline E. 19 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wellington Jewel We enjoyed the comfort and beauty of this very clean and inviting property. It was necessary to have a car to explore all that Wellington has to offer but found cafes and spots nearby that also enriched our trip. Communication was initially difficult just prior to our stay because our hosts were away, but as soon as they returned, they were immensely helpful and accommodating! ##### Pauline E. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Madeline E. 26 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Delightful! We really enjoyed our stay in this home! The views are incredibly beautiful. Julie the host is thoughtful and supplied everything we needed. We loved Wellington as well. We used the city bus system almost exclusively and it took us everywhere we wanted to go. We enjoyed the cable car and the Wellington Botanical Gardens were exquisite. The Te Papa museum is a must see. The Grocer’s Shed, a short walk from the house, has delicious food, coffee, and ice cream. We would love to return and would definitely stay in this home again. Highly recommended! ##### Madeline E. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert C. 25 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Stunning and charming The view from this property is really as stunning as advertised. We enjoyed watching the ocean waves crashing on the rocks, seals frolicking in the swells, gulls, shags, and other birds flying about, and lots of ferries, kayaks, planes, sailboats, and joggers going by, both near and far. The property is well furnished with interesting and eclectic decor, and lots of space to relax both indoors and outdoors. We appreciated the nice touches including the fresh organic apples left for us by the host. The road can be a bit busy, but there is a good sidewalk in both directions and a fairly short walk to the nearby beaches and the small aquarium in Island Bay. All-in-all, a wonderful place to stay right by the water! ##### Robert C. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [ Marwell Hotel Winchester South](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winchester-Hotels-Marwell-Hotel.h6330449.Hotel-Information) > > [Megasaray Club Belek](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Belek-Hotels-Club-Mega-Saray-All-Inclusive.h1544162.Hotel-Information) > > [Inhala Hotel Garden](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Madrid-Hotels-Hotel-Santo-Domingo.h3472151.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Wellington](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wellington-Hotels-Ibis-Wellington.h892402.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz-Carlton, Langkawi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Langkawi-Hotels-The-Ritz-Carlton.h18191339.Hotel-Information) > > [Barceló Emperatriz](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Madrid-Hotels-Barcelo-Emperatriz.h54497.Hotel-Information) > > [Museum Apartment Hotel, Independent Collection by EVT](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wellington-Hotels-QT-Wellington-Apartments.h5588822.Hotel-Information) > > [Rydges Wellington Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wellington-Hotels-Rydges-Wellington-Airport.h30101357.Hotel-Information) > > [Cotswold House Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chipping-Campden-Hotels-Cotswold-House-Hotel-Spa.h7847572.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Amsterdam Airport Hotel and Conference Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Amsterdam-Hotels-Sheraton-Amsterdam-Airport-Hotel-And-Conference-Center.h81706.Hotel-Information) > > [Quest on the Terrace](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wellington-Hotels-Quest-On-The-Terrace.h7994080.Hotel-Information) > > [Spa Hotels in Tenerife](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tenerife-Hotels-Spa-Hotels.0-0-d6047194-tSpaHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Park Lane New York](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-York-Hotels-Park-Lane-Hotel.h2714.Hotel-Information) > > [Pet-Friendly Hotels in Ronda](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ronda-Hotels-Pet-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d5145-tPetFriendlyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Tavern - Steakhouse and Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alnwick-Hotels-The-Tavern-Steakhouse-And-Lodge.h5074116.Hotel-Information) > > [Copthorne Hotel Wellington, Oriental Bay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wellington-Hotels-Copthorne-Hotel-Wellington.h1275.Hotel-Information) > > [Pullman Riga Old Town (Renovated 2025)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Riga-Hotels-Pullman-Riga-Old-Town.h1462352.Hotel-Information) > > [The Murray Arms Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Castle-Douglas-Hotels-The-Murray-Arms-Hotel.h22682976.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Manchester (MAN) to Sumburgh (LSI)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/man/lsi/manchester-to-lerwick) ### Activities ### Packages > [Province of Trieste Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Province-Of-Trieste.d3536.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Malawi Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malawi.d107.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Las Vegas Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Las-Vegas.d178276.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Natural History Museum](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Natural-History-Museum-London-City-Centre.d501537.Attraction) ### General ---
