About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Magnificent Miramar

Small tidy 2 bedroom self-contained apartment. Across the road from a busy café, 10mins walk from the weta cave and 3minutes way from the nearest beach!

Bus stops right outside the door from the city (so it does get noisy) and just across the road to the quirky Wellington CBD!

Miramar itself is pretty funky with our own cinema and amazing eateries! Plenty of street parking and our streets are wide, so no stress there.

There are always electric scooters all over Wellington and you will find a bunch in Miramar.

Heading to and back from the city is easy with public transportation. The city will keep you entertained for hours with the likes of the Te Papa Museum, the amazing stores to shop from, book stores shoe stores. There is an abundance of places to eat, we have a bunch of favourites, so we don't mind sharing our spots to check out!

There is always something going on in Wellington, if it's not the inner city entertainment, there's tones of places to explore in and around Wellington!

Come and check it out! 😁

Great little find
We loved the location as it was close to my husbands parents and plenty of shops and restaurants are close by. The space was great, as was having a washing machine and dryer as we were on a 3- stop holiday. We would suggest perhaps fitting darker curtains or blinds on the windows at the front of the property as the location is quite light even late in the evening. Otherwise lots of great facilities. Thank you!

Great location in a funky spot
The bus is literally right outside your door and it goes to or connects easily to almost anywhere. We had no problem getting a parking spot on the street nearby but never used our car as we could walk or bus everywhere). You can walk to very good restaurants (the Larder, for breakfast or lunch, is excellent; the restaurant at the Roxy Cinema is also great, as is the theatre itself) and you have a nice coffee shop immediately opposite (look up opening hours). Though quirky with an odd set up, it has all you need including reasonable kitchen and clothes washer and dryer for a very reasonable price. Zelda was super quick to respond to questions

Great quirky little place
The bach was clean and tidy, well equipped with all the essentials. We booked with our two dogs and there were dog bowls available when we checked in as well as a packet of treats. We travelled down after finishing work so checked in very late and the host had the lights on, curtains drawn and the air conditioning on. We felt very welcome. The Cafe across the road is an absolute gem, coffee 20 metres from the door. Just a few minutes drive to a dog friendly beach. You won't regret booking this little bach for your stay.

This is a sweetie, reminded me of beach bach. Basic but adequate for short stays. Great having bus right outside and cafe over road. Only comment from friends, no wine glasses, and could do with blinds on windows. Good kiwi no frills, cheap acomodation.

A quirky type of accommodation being an ex-shop but that just adds to its uniqueness, with retro and vintage vibes. Really appreciated the extra bathroom space too when there was 4 of us! By car, literally 5mins or less to Weta Workshops, only 10 or less to the airport and about 20mins to Wellington central, so a great location. Bus-stop right outside, street parking available, supermarket a few minutes drive away as well. And Zelda is a great host too, so considerate. Thank you Zelda for sharing this special space.

Cozy and convenient
We went for the FIFA Women's World Cup. I was worried because the Miramar area was far from downtown, but this location is great. The Miramar downtown has lots of restaurants/bars, is near the Weta workshop and the bus stops right in front of the house. This was incredibly convenient, especially during game days. Zelda was a great host. She was very communicative and checked on us during some particularly high winded nights. She was also able to be flexible on our check-in time since our flight arrived early. The house itself could get a little chilly (we went in winter and Wellington was windy and wet while we where there), but we had control over the heating system and extra blankets. The living room/kitchen area was a good size for the two of us to relax in. We walked to the local grocery store (about 10 minutes away) for eggs, sausage and bread for breakfasts that we could make in the morning. The small kitchen was exactly what we needed. BUT if you don't want to cook, as I mentioned, there are great cafes and restaurant options around. The shower was great. Good water pressure.

Lovely compact apartment. Had everything we needed. I suspect there is little insulation making the heat pump & dehumidifier essential, but we were comfortable & warm. We did add extra blankets to the double bed. Very pleasant accommodation & happy to recommend it.

Handy location. All we needed
Very handy location to the airport. Suited my husband and I well. We caught bus to city and avoided the nightmare traffic. Lots of good eateries and supermarket etc nearby. Accommodation is quirky. I think a shop converted to flat so unusual layout but we were comfortable and slept well. Thanks for the great stay and little treats you left us!
