We really enjoyed our stay at the Richmond Guest House B&B and interacting with the owner, John. Lovely Art Deco crown molding and porcelain collectibles adorned common spaces. Breakfast offered so many choices of cereal and toppings for the toast! Location is good for walking to the city center which was great because I didn't enjoy driving in Wellington due to the narrow streets. The room had all the appliances needed for our afternoon coffee/tea and a modern private bathroom. Would recommend!

It is an old property in a quiet location little away from the center but in walkable distance about 10 minutes to all restaurant and pier side. We parked our car just outside the guest house with the coupon card given by staff. Room is small with all basic material, good for short stay as we caught up early ferry next morning to South Island.

Nice owners and cozy vibes
The gentleman who runs the B&B is extremely sweet and invested in your having a great time. Breakfast is just cereal and toast, but is nice to have included. Parking is on the street (he gives you a parking pass to put on your dashboard) but there were at least a few spaces available when I was there.

Our room was huge and tastefully decorated with antique furniture. There was a Queen bed and 2 King single beds as well as a dining table and couch. There were 3 of us and we had plenty of space to move around. The beds were super comfy. The shower was powerful with added benefit of being supplied with fresh towels every day. Our room was warm and very quiet. Their was a huge selection of cereals for breakfast. Our host, John, made fresh toast for each traveller when the entered the dining room. As well as a TV in our own room, there was a shared lounge in the main building. We loved our home. It is a great place to stay.

This place is conveniently located within walking distance of the museum area of the wharf and lots of shopping--a great area for tourists in Wellington. The house is older and a little worse for wear, particularly the exterior. Being alone my room looked a little smaller than the picture. The host was friendly with lots of good info. He was available to answer questions during the continental breakfast time in a nice breakfast room. I had everything I needed.

The location is quite central, but one does need a car to come and go, at least when it is raining. Breakfast has a good selection. No trafic noise. I have never known about this place before but it is well established. Good value for money, will happily use in future.

Affordable lodging in Wellington
Had a pleasant stay here for three nights in Mar 2023. Location is pretty convenient - only two blocks from bus stop served by #2 (main bus line through Wellington), and walkable to CBD or Mt Victoria Park. This B&B is an older building and, like most places we stayed in (or ate at) in NZ was having a hard time getting staff. The proprietor seemed to be doing everything by himself. That said, we had clean towels every day and breakfast (toast, cereal, coffee, tea and juice) was included. Access to laundry facilities was a great bonus for us.

I arrived around 8 pm off the Northern explorer train tired. I was greeted by the Manager with a cup of tea and a short orientation. My room was clean and had beautiful antique furniture. Continental breakfast was fantastic with multiple cereal choices, toast and many spreads. Would stay there again.

A great 2 night stay
This is a definite home from home stay, the decor is quite dated, but has a homely feel to it. John made me very welcome. My room is due to be updated, however the bed was very comfy and the shower was fine. The only down side was there was a lot of creaking from above, but to be expected I suppose as the house is old. Good to have breakfast provided. Only about a 10 minute walk to the front. Would definitely return.

It is a decent place to stay for the price. More than decent for the price. The only thing I didn't like, and that's not their fault entirely, was it was a little bit further from Cuba Street and the Waterfront than I'd like. You can't always get what you want
