    “The veranda. Large dish wash and washing machine. One of the rooms was awesome. I like the 2 lane lap pool and gym. There were a lot of restaurants close by. It was straight across from the conference. Easy to contact host and check in”

This is the best and most unique Hotel/Apartment complex in Wellington. The apartment is privately owned and is not part of the QT hotel. However you can and enjoy the hotel facilities such as the gym, swimming pool, spa and sauna. From the moment you step in you will know this is something special! The art work is brilliant and the whole place reeks of coolness. It is so good you don't need to leave. Two restaurants/bars on site, one being the most sought after in Wellington. This is the choice of film producers and rock stars!
The host has been involved in the accomodation industry for over 20 years. They are passionate about Wellington and what it has to offer having lived here for most of their lives. They have a passion for sport having been actively involved in rugby, rugby league , tennis and golf. They have traveled extensively and look forward to meeting people from all walks of life.
Situated in the vibrant heart of the city. Close to restaurants, bars and theatres. The famous Te Papa Museum is just across the road and a short distance from Oriental Bay beach. There is no better location
