Walk to downtown Wellington's fantastic shopping in Lambton Quay, CBD, Parliament Buildings (The Beehive), Railway station, bars and cafes. Take the many walking trails in the city's green belt - they start opposite the house. Grant Road Villa is a lovely OLD (circa 1890's) urban home which was renovated several years ago, modernised where necessary but keeping the character and features that graced its period. Please note: the house is old. If this is not your jam, then please don't book and then complain later. We believe it is suited to professionals, family groups, and those looking to relocate to Wellington needing a furnished home in the interim. We also offer a generous discount for longer term stays (some conditions apply). There is space aplenty, as the bedrooms are large, light and airy, the lounge and dining areas are also a good size. We have two two seaters and a three seater couches in the lounge, and a smart TV with built in Chromecast, freeview and Netflix. The beds in the twin room are both roomy King Singles, plenty big enough for adults; please note that the single beds in the larger queen rooms are standard singles intended for children. The house is well insulated and warm. There is on street parking, and one off street carpark, although larger cars such as utes or SUV's may not fit. The house is in a quiet street on the edge of the city. Sky Stadium (affectionately known as the Cake Tin) is a 25 minute walk, the station is 15 minutes, and so is the House of Parliament (The Beehive). A large New World supermarket is 500m away, for all your food and beverage supplies. Five minutes away is Tinakori Village, a pretty little centre with many boutiques, antiques, bistros, cafes and the local pub. Another five minutes will take you to Wellington's lovely botanical gardens. There is so much within walking distance that it's better to use Google maps to check out the vicinity rather than list it all. The northern end of the city is only a short Uber or Ola ride away, and the city's buses can take you wherever you want to go. Or ride on Wellington's ubiquitous E-Scooters, just download the app for either Beam or Flamingo to locate one (or several), register, log in and off you go! If walking bushy tracks is more your vibe, Wellington's green belt is over the road. Yes, literally. Tracks are marked, and one begins opposite the house. Everything you need for a comfortable stay is provided - even basic kitchen supplies for cooking. We are happy to have agreed pets to stay provided they are kept off beds and the couches. We will provide clean pet bedding if required. Pets stay free, but we may add a special cleaning fee. Please talk to us about your pet. The property is not fenced, so your dog will need to be secured on a leash when outside. The courtyard can be secured with a pet fence for small dogs that are not jumpers or escape artists! Also suitable for toddlers :-) Should you have to cancel your reservation due to Covid19 travel restrictions or symptoms, we will refund in full. Of course, some proof will be required! Of special note: We are within walking distance of all NZ government agencies. Ministry of Health, Police, ACC, Ministry of Environment, The Parliament, Ministry of Education, The Treasury are all between 500m and 1.5km away. We are also very close to the British, Canadian and Australian High Commission as well as the US, People Republic of China and Germany embassies. Ask Uncle Google for the rest. We look forward to hosting you! ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Breakfast available for a fee - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Entertainment - Books - Netflix - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Streaming services ### Outdoor areas - Fenced yard - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming cats and dogs only - One pet total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Designated smoking areas - Note from host: Smoking outside only. ### Services and conveniences - Housekeeping (on request) - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a village ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Eco-friendly toiletries - Housekeeping (on request) ## Similar properties ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/38000000/37920000/37912700/37912612/a8234df3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Stunning location. 6 bedrooms.
