Horokiwi Cottage | Rural Bach in the Capital

1 Bedroom Cottage in Horokiwi, Wellington CBD

Self-contained affordable cottage in rural settings Spacious for 2, still enough space for 4 adults, extra kids ok. Freeview TV + Free Wi-Fi. Pine forest and native bush for kids to play with plenty of space to explore.
Incredibly private, surrounded by pine forest. 100% rural, yet only 15 minutes drive from Wellington CBD.
Quite warm now with heat pump, log burner and oil heater so you'll be cosy even on coldest days.
Please note this is rural and somehow quirky bach, not a hotel. If you prefer humming city and 4+ star accommodation you might enjoy more staying in one of Wellington hotels. This is reasonably priced bach for people who like outdoors and rural. No public transport nearby (closest bus stop 4km walk over hills) and the nearest shop is about 15km return trip. The access road from the highway (last 5-8minutes) is windy uphill but quite scenic after you pass the quarry.
Air bed, porta cot, spare mattresses and more extras available on request (usually free), just ask.

Summary: Great to have washing machine & dishwasher but disappointed that clothes drier was not there as was advertised. Log fire great - to have a supply of firewood & paper would enhance this feature. We were able to gather some wood but was difficult in the storm that lasted for our 4 day stay. Relying on customers to clean on checkout is risky. The accumulated mould in shower really needs a deep clean. We bought & sprayed with exit mould which removed some of it. We did our best to clean but the job was difficult with a vacuum cleaner that didn’t have any suction even after we emptied it of rubbish from previous users. A better broom - stiffer bristles & longer handle would have helped. We found the microwave too high for safe use & easy wiping out. We took the mat from kitchen area out of circulation during our stay because it was too flimsy & dangerous. I personally found the open packets of various food items annoying & unsafe. The double bed was very uncomfortable. We enjoyed the privacy, location, price & parking. This accommodation ecperience would rate all stars for us if the things we’ve mentioned were addressed. We managed to make our stay work:)
