Parking permits are $18 per day & can be purchased at the local dairy. Please let us know how many vehicles you will have at time of booking so we can make appropriate arrangements.

We live upstairs with separate access and are happy to help as much or as little as you desire. Please read the House Rules to ensure we have no other reason to interact. To quote a couple of our guests "This was the most beautiful house from the moment we stepped through the door. Fabulously furnished, beds like clouds, double bathroom, warm with a fancy kitchen with everything we needed. But the view was the showstopper from the lounge and deck. Thank you for such an amazing stay Carolyn. My workmates were very happy and we will be back!" "OB Retreat is superb. It's close enough to town to walk to dinner yet far enough away to be in a quiet seaside retreat. It's well appointed, the beds are comfy and the view is so good you can while away plenty of time watching the boats and breeze. The street is typical of many in Wellington and there are about 20 steps from the lane way to the house. Our sprightly 92 year old aunt stayed with us and had no trouble getting about. Thank you Carolyn for a splendid stay." "Carolyn met us as we arrived with a warm welcome to her place, including all of the basic supplies we could have hoped for like tea, coffee and milk etc. The rest of our week at OB Retreat followed suit with everything provided to make our stay comfortable and convenient. Carolyn was available to accommodate any requests and to check everything was ok. OB Retreat was spotless and well appointed, and the view of Wellington Harbour is fantastic! We were in Wellington for our daughter's wedding and had 7 people staying most nights and OB Retreat was more than big enough for all of us. The bedrooms are located well enough away from the living areas to afford a quiet retreat if needed. Having 2 bathrooms worked really well for us too. The kitchen was fully equipped and we were able to prepare all our meals at home. I've stayed in AirBnB accommodation all around the world and OB Retreat has topped the lot!" Come & stay in one of the top 10 suburbs in NZ! "Oriental Bay, Wellington stands out as the fourth most expensive suburb in New Zealand. The bulk of the top 10 are in Auckland. Real estate agent Phil Mears, Tommy’s Real Estate, says Oriental Bay has long been one of Wellington’s top-performing suburbs. "Oriental Bay is more exclusive than the others and it’s very tightly held. So there are not many Oriental Bay properties on the market. Values are high though: there are a lot of properties in the $8m to $10m bracket.” Source: Stuff 7 Feb 2021 At OB Retreat your group can experience all that Oriental Bay offers without spending millions! ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 6 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shower/bathtub combination - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - DVD player - Stereo - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near the sea ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Comprehensive recycling policy - Unit size: 2,067 square feet ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/39000000/38110000/38105300/38105256/f2d3ca3d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### WOODROYD ESTATE Holiday sanctuary 15 mins from CBD Kelson - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Parking available 9.2 Wonderful 57 reviews CA $366 CA $719 total includes taxes & fees Oct 12 - Oct 13 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-12&endDate=2025-10-13&selected=38105256&PinnedHotelID=38105256&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![2 bedrooms, iron/ironing board, WiFi, bed sheets](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/115000000/114490000/114481300/114481223/545b38ef.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beach house Oriental Bay - Dryer 6.0 3 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-17&endDate=2025-10-18&selected=114481223&PinnedHotelID=114481223&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Private kitchen](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/101000000/100480000/100471200/100471199/25fb411b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Eclectic 70s Mansion Tawa - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 2.0 1 review CA $689 CA $891 total includes taxes & fees Oct 4 - Oct 5 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-04&endDate=2025-10-05&selected=100471199&PinnedHotelID=100471199&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/104000000/103510000/103507900/103507825/576c5c09.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Spacious Executive Modern Home, City Fringe!
