Gardens Homestay Bed and Breakfast Wellington, 
New Zealand

Make your stay in Wellington an experience.  Join us at Wellington B&B the Gardens Homestay. Our Wellington Bed and Breakfast is a large Victorian residence that was built in 1892 and lovingly restored and developed during the 1990's. Your homestay hosts are Fly by Wire Ride inventor Neil Harrap and his wife Sally Guinness. The richly ornamented façade features stained glass, cast iron lacework, bay windows and wooden fretwork in a delightful display. A Wellington homestay with style!

We're located in historic Thorndon and just five minutes walk through the park to Parliament, Lambton Quay and downtown Wellington's shopping and business centre. It's just two minutes walk to the Botanic Gardens and the Lady Norwood Rose Garden, even closer to numerous cafes, restaurants and specialty shops in the historic Tinakori Road shopping district.

Choose an historic Wellington Bed and Breakfast - St Mary Street is shown on the original 1840 plan of Wellington. Nearly all of the houses are carefully restored or faithful replicas of the colonial era. The neighbourhood contains a wealth of historic homes along with the New Zealand Prime Ministers residence, set in extensive gardens. At the top of St Mary Street is the Town Belt with hundreds of acres of forest and many bush walks.
