An ideal place to stay and relax, if you're visiting for pleasure or business. With its own private entrance you'll feel right at home in this studio apartment which includes free wifi, ensuite bathroom, kitchenette and a lavender court yard. After a long day, a comfortable queen bed awaits you or if you have a need to stretch your legs, take an invigorating walk up the track to the Brooklyn wind turbine through the Waimapihi Reserve. Quality restaurants, cafes, bars and takeaways are just a 5 min drive away at the Brooklyn village or watch a movie at the local vintage cinema. The distance between the studio and city is about 3 km.

Studio Apartment in Brooklyn, Wellington

The cosy studio apartment in Greater Wellington is an ideal place for a holiday break in the city. It is close to the local bus route into the CBD and has views looking across the harbour. Julie and Pauline are superb hosts, and you are made to feel very welcome upon your arrival. The apartment is very well appointed and is really comfortable. There is also literature on the main city attractions. For anyone visiting Greater Wellington, this makes a perfect place as a base to explore the many districts of the city. I would recommend this apartment to any traveller visiting the city.

Hilltop Heaven

The unit is extremely clean and cosy, the bed is super comfortable, and the shower pressure is fabulous. The view is magnificent and the road quiet. It borders the nature reserve so you can hear the birds. It is a climb up the hill - but where isn't a climb in Wellington city - and the height gives you the view and a sense of being up and out of the city stress. There is also a bus route not far away and it was only $20 taxi from Cambridge Tce in the city. The parking is directly outside the unit and was very safe with not a lot of car or foot traffic. I will definitely book again if I need to stay in Welington city.

About the host

Hosted by Pauline Poi & Julie Chan

Host profile image
You are hosted by friendly and hospitable Pauline & Julie, originally from Malaysia but proud to be a Wellingtonian and have lived in Brooklyn for more than 30 years. Love travelling both locally and overseas and food are their passion. They will make your stay in Wellington an enjoyable one.

Why they chose this property

Brooklyn is one of the coolest suburb of Wellington. The panoramic view is so captivating that we bought the land and built a home on it. We love the quiet neighbourhood , the reserve is just at our back door and the closeness to the city. Wellington is dubbed the "The coolest little capital in the world" by Lonely Planet. It merges big city culture with small town charm. It is celebrated as New Zealand’s arts, film, coffee, culinary, craft beer, events and political capital.

What makes this property unique

From the bay window, you can relax and enjoy the lavender bush and stunning view of the Wellington Harbour. Plenty of free on-street parking is available. The bus stop is just 7 minutes (500m) walk away and the buses to the city operate 7 days a week. A 25 minute walk to the city through the Central Park is invigorating. The Waimapihi Reserve and the wind turbine just at our back door. It is just 1 minute (68m) walk to the entrance. A less than 5 minutes’ drive to enjoy either eat-your-heart-out at the best eateries in town, a movie at the Penthouse Cinema, a game of tennis at the Renouf Golf Centre or for a game of out-of-this-world mini golf at Calucci Land, a unique Wellington landmark with remarkable artworks.
