Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Porirua

I booked at the very last minute at 6:30pm on the night and the host responded so quickly. I am so grateful because this old house is very unique with plenty of history. Awesome views that you never get tired of. Walking distance to every where. Be aware there are a lot of stairs to get to the property and bedrooms rooms up on 2nd level so if you have old or bad legs this could be a problem. Not a problem for me at all though & I am nearly 60. Thanks for a great stay and sharing your family home with me.

Great place - very comfortable - lots of extra touches when we arrived - very welcoming to us and our dog. Lovely to walk into a lounge with the fire going on a cold evening.

Our group of grandparents (visiting from Canada), parents and 2 children aged 6 and 2 enjoyed our Easter weekend stay. The kitchen was well equipped for all our food prep; bedrooms were comfortable, spacious and clean; there were DVDs of cartoons that the adults all remember, as well as some movies. The adults enjoyed playing table tennis, and the sleepout was a good place to store bicycles. Proximity to the excellent playground, the beach and the estuary were big pluses. The enclosed yard was also helpful for keeping the children safe. And wine and chocolates were a pleasant welcoming gift. Thanks so much for sharing your attractive and comfortable bach.

Maddie’s place was effortlessly elegant and beautiful. So comfortable that we could wait to get back to the house after our sightseeing. The highlight of our trip was chillaxing at the house with plenty to read , Apps downloaded on the TV etc. the sun drenched, picturesque house was so clean and fresh and Maddie’s welcome note, warmth and hospitality were greatly appreciated. Fab kitchen, fab indoor/ outdoor flow. Cannot recommend it highly enough.

Liem and Selena are great hosts - very responsive, friendly, and always available if you need anything. The place is spacious, cozy and comfortable, with everything necessary, you instantly feel like home. There’s also an amazing, quiet garden, perfect for enjoying breakfast! And if it’s rainy there’s a nice sunroom to enjoy the garden view! I genuinely enjoyed staying there and would definitely recommend it:)

Fabulous place to stay, very comfortable, very clean, great hosts who communiated really well. Thank you we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

An excellent Airbnb experience every time I booked here. Even had the fire roaring for when I arrived late evening.

The views the views the views! The private cable car was such a fun amenity! Elenor was so easy to talk to- we had a slight heating issue and she was quick to jump on a call and offer up solutions-it was so kind and generous The house is large and spacious and we loved walking to the botanical gardens from he house. Would happily stay again is ever passing through Wellington again.

My stay at Mikaela's was just perfect for a four day stay during a course I attended. It was a great location for a walk along the harbour in the morning and shopping in Petone. Great yummy restaurants very close. Mikaela was awesome to communicate with and was very responsive and helpful with the questions I had. The apartment is private and homey, bright and airy with great amenities for a pleasant stay. I enjoyed reading by the fireside heater which kept the apartment warm. Bed is comfortable and nice linen. I enjoyed hearing the kids playing next door at the preschool.

Alexandra’s place is the perfect getaway. It’s super cosy. Communication was also fantastic and Alexandra was very accommodating. Looking forward to returning

Was a great place to crash for the weekend with 6 friends from around the country. Right in the heart of Wellington.

Amazing B&B in a great location! Place was immaculate and we loved the sauna and steam shower. Great location. Walkable to a lot of bars, breweries, restaurants, and grocery store. Sally was extremely helpful with local recommendations. Instructions were clear, easy to follow, and thorough. Highly recommend this place!

Sally provided a place that exceeded our expectations. we had an absolutely wonderful time and can't fault her. As a Wellington resident for 14 years who booked it for his parents while they were travelling I can't recommend this enough. It's exactly what you need if you are here for a visit or a medium term stay. Thanks Sally!

Jordan on reception was amazing, easy parking. Thank you for our grocery order and putting them into fridge all ready for us! The beds were so comfortable, great view. Highly recommend

Wow! What an amazing house. The views over the sea and Kapiti Island were absolutely stunning ... and falling to sleep to the sound of the waves was sooo calming. High recommend from us. Cheers, Dave

Great place with a lovely view and really close to the beach. Melissa was awesome, super helpful, communication was perfect! Thanks for hosting us! Would definitely recommend.

Amazing Amazing and Amazing! To wake up to this view was out of this world! Then having the awesome access to the beach. Everything you require is at the house….may be a little more expensive than some of the other Kapiti properties. But it is worth every penny! Thanks Julie and Kelly (the very helpful site Manager)

Lisa place was lovely and was the perfect city getaway for a long weekend. The house and outside area are amazing and perfect for hosting a small group. We would absolutely recommend this place :)

Such a great place to stay, perfect for our group. Lots of space, both as a large group but also breakout areas. Outdoors is stunning, great to wander around in the sun and fresh air, very quiet and peaceful - our dogs love it!! Well equipped throughout, kitchen had all the staples and plenty of serving ware for group meals, bedrooms were all fabulously set out, plenty of extra bedding and towels if needed. Lots of games to have fun with, plus the pool and tennis court. We had a blast, thank you for having us!!

Alexandra and Matt are very welcoming, as their house and their garden, also Frankie the cat. For us this wonderful place was the perfect start for our new zealand round trip. We now already miss the breakfast on the terrace. It was really pleasant to be your guests. We just can recommend this place. Thanks

We are a family of 4 who had just moved to Wellington from overseas. We stayed here for 2.5 months. Place was a great set up. Lovely to live in. Close to things and was a cute little character home. Price was great considering it was a long stay and the owners were so supportive of us. Heating was fantastic. Was definitely our favourite airbnb out of the 4 we stayed in during our wellington time. Best value for money. And it had car parking on site - so important. Could fit 2 cars there!!! Would recommend. Plus they gave us a fold out bed so we could sleep our 2 kids in the second bedroom. Very grateful for this airbnb helping us out whilst we found permanent accommodation!

Nessa and Stefan were the besthosts! They made us feel welcome, comfortable as soon as we arrived. We actually took up an offer to stay in their beautiful home in Belmont as the Boulcott home was given to a couple who booked and needed to extend their stay. I highly recommend a stay with them or in their Boulcott property as they go out of their way to provide the perfect stay in immaculate and comfortable surroundings. Stefan’s coffee and home made honey and breakfast cereals were exceptional! A 10/10 stay with 10/10 hosts! Thank you for your hospitality and friendly conversations. All the best.

Great place, lovely suburb, easy and quick to get to the city by bus. Allie communicated really clearly and gave me flexibility for self check in and out. Charming house, clean and comfortable. Can’t ask for much else.

So good place to stay
