To quote a couple of our guests "This was the most beautiful house from the moment we stepped through the door. Fabulously furnished, beds like clouds, double bathroom, warm with a fancy kitchen with everything we needed. But the view was the showstopper from the lounge and deck. Thank you for such an amazing stay Carolyn. My workmates were very happy and we will be back!"
"OB Retreat is superb. It's close enough to town to walk to dinner yet far enough away to be in a quiet seaside retreat. It's well appointed, the beds are comfy and the view is so good you can while away plenty of time watching the boats and breeze. The street is typical of many in Wellington and there are about 20 steps from the lane way to the house. Our sprightly 92 year old aunt stayed with us and had no trouble getting about. Thank you Carolyn for a splendid stay."
"Carolyn met us as we arrived with a warm welcome to her place, including all of the basic supplies we could have hoped for like tea, coffee and milk etc. The rest of our week at OB Retreat followed suit with everything provided to make our stay comfortable and convenient. Carolyn was available to accommodate any requests and to check everything was ok. OB Retreat was spotless and well appointed, and the view of Wellington Harbour is fantastic! We were in Wellington for our daughter's wedding and had 7 people staying most nights and OB Retreat was more than big enough for all of us. The bedrooms are located well enough away from the living areas to afford a quiet retreat if needed. Having 2 bathrooms worked really well for us too. The kitchen was fully equipped and we were able to prepare all our meals at home. I've stayed in AirBnB accommodation all around the world and OB Retreat has topped the lot!"
Come & stay in one of the top 10 suburbs in NZ! "Oriental Bay, Wellington stands out as the fourth most expensive suburb in New Zealand. The bulk of the top 10 are in Auckland. Real estate agent Phil Mears, Tommy’s Real Estate, says Oriental Bay has long been one of Wellington’s top-performing suburbs. "Oriental Bay is more exclusive than the others and it’s very tightly held. So there are not many Oriental Bay properties on the market. Values are high though: there are a lot of properties in the $8m to $10m bracket.” Source: Stuff 7 Feb 2021 At OB Retreat your group can experience all that Oriental Bay offers without spending millions!

Summary: I'm pleased we booked this lovely house in Oriental Parade. For 10 of us having two bathrooms and numerous bedrooms we had plenty of space and no tripping over each other. The accommodation is spotless. A lot of work has gone into the bedding, it's immaculate, comfy and clean. Excellent communication and clear instructions, Carolyn is a thoughtful and caring host. Having the two car parks was extremely useful for us. The location is still walking distance to downtown though or a quick uber. Loved sitting in the lounge watching the shipping action on the harbour.

Summary: This was a perfect house for our group of 12 women staying in Wellington for the Women's World Cup. The house was spacious with wonderful views of the Bay (and the stadium across the bay). Loads of natural light through large front windows. Kitchen was well equipped too, so we were able to save some money by cooking.
