Nice unit, warm after we set up all the heaters on full blast- freezing when we got in. Unfortunately this unit -5 is not sound proof at all... Noise of the street behind and the idiotic neighbour's in front of the unit screaming and blasting their music till 4.30 in the morning did not make for a great sleep. Location... More

Thank you for your review, RuralLady_13. I am sorry that you were disturbed by noise. Most earlier reviews say they had no problem with noise, however it is unacceptable for neighbours to making noise at 4am! The City Council operate a very effective noise complaint service, and had we known about this we would have taken action. Kind regards, Jeff More

We found City Cottages to be perfect and ideally situated. They are close to the motorway for access to Hutt Valley or Porirua and it is an easy walk to the CBD. We were not disturbed by any noise from the motorway nor weekend evening activities. Cuba Street is a great spot to be based as it's a fun place... More

We were in Wellington for business and the cottage was an excellent choice. The positioning at the top of Cuba was perfect, close to great restaurants and bars, and to our meetings.Inclusive broadband should be standard in all hotels now, and the parking was needed for this trip. The layout of the cottage was great and really handy having cooking... More

We loved staying here - the cottage is beautifully presented and spacious for such a central location. Great for a family (we were two couples and two toddlers and there was still plenty of room inside and out for the little ones to play). Jeff is lovely to deal with and we really enjoyed the whole experience. Thank you!

Situated right on Cuba St, the cottage is a nice comfortable place to stay, and very much central. This is a great positive. We did notice strange base like noise from the surrounds, but this did not extend into the evening. But I can totally understand how annoying the noise would be on a weekend. Nice clean property, however the... More

We are glad you had a great stay! We provide full servicing weekly for guests making longer visits or can arrange daily service on request. However, most guests prefer privacy and the ability to come and go without being affected by cleaning. More

We had a lovely room with an enclosed patio off the room. Jeff offered the washer and dryer which we took advantage of. He also suggested Hazel for... More

My husband and I stayed at 5 Tonks Grove for 3 nights the end of January. The location is superb (just off Cuba Street) within walking distance of most city centre locations. The cottage was as we expected it to be: spotlessly clean and extremely well appointed and comfortable. A quick email and the burnt out lightbulb and lack of... More
