"Perfectly appointed efficiency apartment, in a great location in easy walking distance from grocery store, coffee shops, and public transit, with off street parking. Hosts are a lovely couple who live upstairs. Very friendly, but not at all intrusive: we were welcomed with fresh garden produce and left with extra special help at the airport. Can’t recommend highly enough!"

Thorndon Heritage Listed Villa

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay. Perfect location. Uber rides were all under 10 NZ from this VRBO. Beautiful stay with lots of room. Host is great and very helpful. I would encourage others to not hesitate to ask him for local ideas. Bathroom amazing!!!! Easy parking in the heart of a city was pretty cool especially as we had several tours and had to leave our car all day. Beautiful botanical park right across the street was a great picnic spot. Internet speed was great too. Many thanks to our gracious hosts!!!"
