Zen hideaway in Aotea

Clean and tidy. Nice place

I didn't reakise I would hear so much through the wall. From photo I had assumed I had bottom floor of the place.

I recently stayed with my teenage grandson. The accommodation was clean. comfortable, warm and very handy to the city. Communication was easy and any questions I had were answered immediately.

Thankyou Zen Hideaway! Our three days spent in Aotea were great! What myself, my partner and father enjoyed the most was that the home was clean and it was warm! In a quiet area which was even better! Heated floors in bathroom - fantastic!

There was nothing I didn't like. Area of improvement maybe a small table for guests to be able have their meals on.... Questions I had were answered. I asked for a small table to have our meal on and was given a decent sized coffee table so thankyou for that.

Modern, clean and comfortable.

The living area was very small. Much better suited to a couple only.

Beste Unterkunft auf meiner Neuseelangreise! Etwas abgelegen aber mit Traumausblick, super sauber und großzügige Ausstattung; sehr lieber Vermieter! Danke für die gute Betreuung!

Modern and well appointed

Living + co

I've stayed before it was familiar

The noise through the walls and access door at times was too much. 1 towel for 5 night stay.?? It's not as stylish as it was.There is no care factor anymore

Good value . Very clean.

Good location for our needs. Quiet location and modern facilities

Could do with some maintenance on insides but nothing major that made things difficult

Very clean and comfortable. Quiet as well.

Nothing really springs to mind.

Location was excellent nice and quiet. Tonmoy was more than helpful when arriving. Enjoyed our stay.

Very clean and comfortable

Lovely private apartment. Good communication from owner. Good facilities. Easy run to ferry terminal.

Only place we have stayed that didn’t provide milk. Not a big thing but when traveling it’s the little touches that matter.

Location and proximity to Porirua and police college

Very Quiet was able to get good 2 nite sleep .

Bathroom towels were not clean had a musky odour , there were hairs left on bathroom sink . Bed sheets were so wrinkled as if sheets just came out of dryer . Didn’t like idea leaving shoes outside maybe have the shoebox inside as you enter .

Lovely little one bed apartment, nice facilities and great hosts

Nice quiet location great to come back to relax after a big kaupapa in the city. The hosts were excellent friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. Great communication prior to the stay and quick to answer any questions we had whilst we were staying. Perfect size for my toddler and I, it was nice being able to spread out and not be confined to one room. Had everything we needed, would definitely stay again!

Comfortable, great location for my purpose

N/a

Quiet, Location not far from either the township or motorway. Under floor heating in the bathroom. Self-contained kitchen. Very clean. Would recommend to others

Heat pump would have been a helpful option - not negative feedback.

First class no problems and very well set up for guests.

It rained a lot ! Nothing else was at fault. Nice and comfortable.

Extra comfy, better than basic furnishings. Easy to find, close to main road, quiet, walkway at bottom of road, larger size shower cubicle, and relaxed ambience, 2L of milk complimentary, shampoo for those who may have forgotten theirs. And the owners spare body wash, toothpaste etc. also sits in the accommodation maybe for their visitors too, to use. The couple and l exchanged a friendly wave on leaving. Especially appreciated arriving to the pre heated lovely warm lounge on our first wet blustery evening.

It definitely was noticeable that there was no dish brush, face cloth, dish cloth, tea towel, long length mirror, door mat for outside and inside the doorway but maybe this isn't necessarily what the owners are wanting to provide, to keep costs down. A security light would have also been handy as we had to rush around locating lights from phones to see to put the key code in. A container for storing the shoes is not needed and the wind blew it in the garden. When it's pouring down and windy the best thing is to just shut the door. Electric jug also leaks water out the spout when being used to pour. And not having a table and chairs. I also would have appreciated advance communication earlier than the day of arrival. Just one area of cleaning we both noticed was under the bathroom cabinet, skirtings and around the toilet. None of these distracted from the stay though.

Location - so close to the motorway, quiet surroundings and relaxing accommodation. Everything you may need was available in the property. Perfect!

There is nothing I didn’t like.

Very clean and tidy

The place was clean, and I felt safe.

Clean and modern, warm

Would have liked the plates, cups and glasses more accessible- I couldn’t reach them

The location was good as it was close to our family It was very warm, only because we purchased 2 heaters

You'll need to firstly follow up with landlord once the room is booked, there is no automatic email. I asked landlord if we could check in a lil early as we landed in Wellington with our baby at 6am but check in was 2pm - this was declined (No booking from night before also, so room was free) Parking was on-street only Entrance isn't private, you have to wrap around the house (as per pic) Not enough blankets at all Heater didn't work properly (must install app before use & turns off after a few mins anyway) So had to purchase 2 heaters to be warm No sky tv - freeview only Used milk in the fridge, rubbish in the lounge and wet toilet paper in the bathroom Could hear a child/baby crying in the room next to us on first 3 nights - waking our baby Just overall not a nice stay at all, would not recommend. Landlord didn't ever text back as well let alone check in with us on our 5 night stay.

Warm and cosy

דירה קטנה מתאים ללילה הדירה הייתה יחסית נקייה המטבח היה לא נקי הובטח מזגן אבל לא היה

לא אהבנו את המטבח היה מאובזר אבל לא נקי לא היה מזגן ולנו זה מאד חשוב היה רשום בבוקינג שיש מיזוג אוויר אבל לא היה שפנינו לבעלים הציעו לנו מאוורר שרק עשה רעש או שנפתח חלונות

little bit of noise from main house but guess that is to be expected from bnb

Good location easy parking nice place

When the fold out bed is out there is no room to sit or move. Great place other than that.

Super comfortable soft beds after a 7hr trip from Auckland. Definitely what we enjoyed the most, was a good night's rest. The owners were so lovely, prompt to meet our needs if we had any. Kind & caring. We would definately return in the future if needed. I would recommend their property. There was a book with tours and restaurants etc to visit and was not far from their home as well. Really enjoyed it. THANKYOU ZEN WE APPRECIATE YOUR HOSPITALITY.

I like cooking and sitting at the table together with my family enjoying a meal, sharing conversations laughing but there was just a small kitchenette, pretty tight space, and a 2 seater table outside but the weather wasnt the best so we ate separately in different rooms on the beds. I would still come back but eat away with my family if I want to eat together.

The unit is very clean, and visually appealing. Nice and new.

The linen was substandard. The towels were small and threadbare. The duvet was summerweight (with no spares that I could find anywhere), and the room was cold. There was a noisy heater that I could use to warm the room, but it didn't make for a peaceful sleep. This is something that would be very easily and inexpensively fixed, but it really let the place down.

Great location, quiet neighbourhood, close to what was needed.

The host gave us clear instructions as to how to get to the unit, where to park our car and where to find the key. The unit is very comfortable and very well-presented. We arrived late and left early in the morning. We had no issues at all and I would happily stay here again. :)

Location was good, Nice room layout, warm and comfortable. Netflix was a nice surprise. Having a few toiletries (shaving foam, toothpaste etc.) was a nice touch in case you had forgotten to pack your own.

Fridge was a bit noisy. Closed the cupboard door to relax.

Modern and warm

Towels were very small and thin. No bath mat. Couldn't find the extra blankets or pillows. A little more attention to cleaning, hair and dust in the bathroom.

Loved it! Absolute excellent value for money, spacious, all the amenities you could need.

The TV didn't appear to have a freeview Ariel plugged in. But that's being Fussy.

Super clean facilities and beautifully decorated with everyday knick knacks you need. Owner put a lot of thought into the comfort of the accomodation. Highly recommend for those who want a quiet clean place to stay with an excellent view of the bay

Cosy space comfortable and close to the location i was staying at..countdown up the street.

Need to have a car to get around.

We liked the modern, clean and tidy esthetic. Comfortable and spacious.

It would be a nice touch to have milk in the fridge, otherwise could not fault.

环境干净，单独的起居室

都挺好

It was a good location, quiet at nights and good parking

Na

A lovely place to stay. Very high spec - everything appears new and modern. You do walk past the owners living area to get to it but it has its own private entrance and feels really private when you are there. The place is spotless. Great TV. Shower is excellent and the bed really comfortable. Really nice neighbourhood near lots of shops and restaurants (driving). Harbour and sea inlet near by. 20 minutes into the centre of Wellington.

Immaculately clean, new, well equipped. Really comfortable. Huge TV screen with Netflix.

Nothing!

Sehr freundliche Gastgeber. Tolle Animation, um den Schlüssel zu erhalten. Top Einrichtung, alles noch wie neu und sehr modern. 20 Minuten zu Fuß zu den Restaurants bzw. Supermärkten.

Perfect location, excellent service. We had an easy and confortable stay.....great stay and enjoyed the friendly service.... Beautiful view...

New, quiet and friendly owner

L’appartement est super, tout est neuf et très confortable. De plus, le propriétaire est très sympathique et arrangeant. Nous avons vraiment passé un bon moment !

Rien

Sehr schön eingerichtetes Apartment. Es war gemütlich und wir hatten alles was wir brauchten. Mit dem Toaster und dem Geschirr kann man sich gut ein einfaches Frühstück machen. Der Parkplatz an der Strasse direkt vor dem Haus war ebenfalls toll. Wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt und sind von hier nach Wellington die Stadt anschauen. Alles was sie zum Einkaufen brauchen oder Abendessen gehen können sie in Porirua.

Es gibt eine Verbindungstür zum Haupthaus, da das Apartment sonst für Gäste oder Familie die zu Besuch ist genutzt wird. Die Türe könnte schalldicht ausgeführt werden. Aber sonst war alles super!

It was a large comfortable unit with separate bedroom and kitchenette. It was clean and the staff were helpful.

The location made for a quiet night but it was a bit isolated for me. Just as well I brought something with me for dinner. I struggled a little with the combination lock for retrieving the key. The TV didn't have regular channels but only streaming services. I appreciate that other people like that but I only watch them if there's nothing else.

Very accommodating hosts. Nothing was too much trouble. Comfortable and cozy. The Playstation was definitely a bonus for my son. Handy location with easy access to motorway.

Can't think of anything

- Pretty, brand new, super clean accommodation in a quiet Wellington suburb -Easy access from the ferry - Excellent communication and instructions by the friendly hosts from the booking to the departure - Quiet bedroom with a comfy bed - Modern bathroom

- Breakfast by the very low coffee table wasn’t very comfy. Had we sayed longer we’d have carried the terrace table indoors. - It was a surprise that one could hear discussions through the lounge wall. Of’course this can be solved using iPods.

Perfect condition. Clean. All very new and comfortable

Petit appartement tout neuf, jolie décoration, équipement très bien. Jolie surprise pour cette réservation de dernière minute.

Sehr sauber und gepflegt. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Das Bett war sehr bequem. Check in war problemlos.

Nichts

The property was new and clean. It was quiet and close to amenities.

I stayed there with my son. It advertised 1 bedroom and a living room. I assumed incorrectly that it would have a couch that I would sleep on. Instead it had only a small love seat. It was not very comfortable for sleeping so that was disappointing.

The location is only 20 minutes drive away from Wellington city centre. Calm and peaceful environment of suburban living. Super clean. The bed was comfy. PS5!! The host was super friendly!

Great to have coffee and Netflix! Thank you!

Helpfulness by owner. Modern and exceptionally clean. Highly recommend. Thank you. Will be back

Great location, friendly hosts, and very comfy bed.

Everything was fine.

good location and nice place to stay

Great communication from hosts as soon as I booked and coming up to stay. Really easy to organise meeting to get keys and be shown around. Nice quiet street with lovely views. Very new house set up to be super comfortable, warm and quiet. Nice little outside space with table and chairs. Rooms well organised with everything I needed for a relaxing stay. Easy parking on the street by the driveway, Ground level entrance with good pathway. Nicely set up mini kitchen so I could self cater breakfast etc. Tea, Coffee, milk etc all provided to start the stay nicely. Great introduction book with everything you need to know about the property, emailed beforehand and left on the table to look through. Enjoyed the "Things to Do" suggestions and restaurant tips. Bed was soooo comfortable - lots of pillow types to try and suit the customers, fresh linen. Bathroom very well appointed and shower is great! Heated underfloor such a treat on cold mornings! Nice towels and heated towel rail. Utility cupboard with iron etc. Close to Aotea supermarket and Porirua for more shops, cafes, restaurants. Hosts friendly and happy to help :) I'm looking forward to staying again!

Great location. Central to many amenities and the hosts gave a great list of recommended places to explore and try.
