We stayed at Gardens Homestay during the World Cup in September. We aren't really the B&B type, but I think that Neil, Sally and Nina converted us! Due to a flight change, we arrived much later than anticipated, and when we arrived the whole family greeted us and made us some tea without hesitation. As others have said, the room... More

We were given a lovely welcome by Neil, Sally and Nina, as well as a guided tour of their elegant house. They had even put the Union Jack out to make us feel at home. Our suite was enormous and very comfortable. We were given helpful advice to find a restaurant and felt obliged to drink the delicious glass of... More

Wellington was the third stop on our New Zealand trip, and at the Garden's Homestay I was finally able to unwind. The upstairs suite was spacious, elegant (with a balcony, tall ceilings and a fireplace!) and very private, and Sally was an engaging and helpful host. I would definitely recommend this place to others. More

Our second visit to Neil, Sally and Nina's lovely home (and Rocky) and we got the same great welcome as before. This is a lovely place to stay, relaxed, comfortable and Neil and Sally are so knowledgeable about Wellington having lived here for so long. We enjoyed our first visit and were not disappointed on our second. if we go... More

The B&B is situated a 15 minute walk outside the center but this walk is a very nice one through the botanical gardens. The St Mary street is... More

My husband and I recently stayed at Gardens Homestay in Wellington when we travelled to New Zealand for the Rugby World Cup 2011. The house itself is absolutely beautiful in a very picturesque, historical part of the city. Our room was huge and comfortable with free Wifi. The location is fantastic - an easy stroll to the city, the botanical... More

Stayed here recently for 4 nights, to attend my daughter's Graduation, so there were 4 adults in all. Lovely house, extremely comfortable accommodation, perfect location with easy access to bus, very close to shops & lovely restaurants. We ate at the historic pub and also one of the other restaurants (can't remember the name) but had wonderful food. The location... More
