B and B on Hay Street by the Sea is ideally located in Central Wellington, minutes away from the sandy Oriental Bay Beach. It offers accommodation with a courtyard, an upstairs balcony and garden. The bed and breakfast offers free WiFi. Te Papa is a 12-minute walk away.

We felt very welcome. Jenny and Peter are very nice and warm people. They helped us with recommendations for restaurants and booked us a cab for the airport. A very good location in Oriental Bay close to the beach. A beautiful room, clean and a very comfortable bed. We would definitely recommend this, one of our best stays in New Zealand.

    The location is very good. It is close to many cafes. There is also a 24 convenience store nearby. You can walk to Cuba St. and to the seaside and downtown. Many local sightseeing spots are easily accessible by walking or by a short bus ride.

    Perfect location by Oriental Bay on seafront, close to downtown and walking distance to restaurants, cafes and bars. Bar and restaurant in the hotel were quite good, excellent breakfast. The room was comfortable, shower and hot water good but heating not working in the cold stormy weather we had. Fabulous harbour view on 9th floor!

    Janice and Bert were great host they have been in this business for a long time their service is exceptional from the day we arrived til we left very courteous and hospitable people, plus breakfast were great! Our room was tidy when we got back from our first day trip. they give a lot of formation regarding where to go and what to visit, the best place I have stayed in Wellington so far. they made us feel we were in a 5 star hotel 😊😊 with a million dollar view of Wellington seaside. highly recommended!!!
