    Lack of near- by food outlets when you don't have a car. Perhaps something in advertising material would be helpful.

    Our hosts, the views, breakfast, guests lounge. Our host kindly went out to get us some food on our first night.

    Nothing. Be aware Wellington is hilly so most properties will have a drive up or down.

    The rooms lounge absolutely stunning views with the extra of the pool and hot tub. Chris and Lou perfect hosts.

    Water pressure in shower was too strong and we could not control it thus wetting the floor- maybe needs a curtain

    Beautiful property overlooking Wellington Harbour, 15min from the ferry terminal

    Didn't like that I had to leave so early. Its just wonderfull

    The owners are very friendly and welcomed us like old m8s. Had breakfast with them and had an enjoyable conversation. We arrived 4 hours early and we asked if we could leave our luggage there while we explored not only was that not a problem they gave us our key and said make yourself at home now if you like. My wife and I highly recommend staying here.

    Lou and Chris were perfect hosts, nothing was too much trouble. They went out of their way to make sure we had all we needed. We were very welcome and loved staying here. The room was fantastic with lovely views of the valley and towards the coast. We had a great continental breakfast with plenty of fresh fruit. We highly recommend Harbour Lodge.

    Nothing. Was great.

    Loved the heated floor in the bathroom, breakfast, the comfy bed, the view, the shared guest lounge area. The pool and spa looked great but didn’t get a chance to use those. The hosts were lovely. Would have liked to stay longer than 2 days.

    Nothing at all - loved it.

    Absolutely loved our time at this fantastic B&B in beautiful Wellington. It's located on a quiet hillside overlooking from where the Picton ferry sails from. Our room was extremely comfortable, cosy and well equipped with a lovely bathroom, which included a fabulous bath. Lou and Chris, the hosts, are a lovely couple who could not have been more friendly and helpful. We had a delicious healthy breakfast each day of our stay, and enjoyed chatting to Lou & Chris over a cup of tea. This is a brilliant place to stay if you're going to catch the ferry to the South Island as it's only a short drive from here. Wellington is a fabulous city and you'll be pushed to find a better place to stay than Harbour Lodge. Highly recommended !

    Negatives? Maybe the Winter, although it was still quite pleasant!

    I have lived in and visited Mainland USA, Hawaii, Australia, Pacific islands, New Zealand and Japan and stayed in many hotels. Firstly, Wellington Lodge owners, Chris and Lou, were nice and friendly. They both have traveled to many countries and experienced different peoples, cultures and sites. Secondly, the place is beautiful and clean and is situated in a beautiful setting with gorgeous panoramic views of the Wellington harbor and hills and surroundings. Thirdly, it was winter and the rooms have heating and surprisingly, the bathroom floors are heated! How COOL is that! 🙃 There is free parking on the premises and breakfast is served each morning! We would love to visit again from Japan. The owners, Chris and Lou and Harbour Lodge get a 100/100!

    Perhaps a few more options at breakfast e.g. pastries. Some might find the drive up from the city a bit challenging at first but it's OK and we'll worth it.

    Great property with stunning views. Very welcoming and friendly hosts. Spacious and comfortable room with a fridge and good tea making facilities. Large bathroom. Great guest lounge with views over the harbour. What a pool!
