I stayed at this beautifully designed Villa for just over a week while working on a short term film project. Eventhough I was working long hours with a lot of pressure and only had a room, waking up to these views with that amazing glass shower next to the sea, helped me start the day with a smile.THe lovely hosts...

The good: Beautiful house in a great setting - rooms face the seaside and you wake up to the sunset. Expensive furniture and art - classy. Good beds, nice shower. The bad: - Location - if you want to see Wellington and (like us) don't have a car (we dropped our rental the day we arrived), you're quite stranded. The... More

I booked this b&b because a couple of reviews (2010 & 2011) mentioned great breakfasts. The breakfast was disappointing. It is a basic continental breakfast, complete with tired croissants. The room menu showed a full breakfast. This was not on offer when we stayed. Fiona asked us to pre-order the night before and the choice was continental with limited options... More

Lovely building and room. However, badly let down by impersonal service. Little or no apparent knowledge of local restaurants (wrong directions given to restaurants/cafes that were closed). Beds were uncomfortable and furnishings not commensurate with high cost of accommodation. Proprietor didn't even offer coffee on arrival.

My wife and I stayed with Fiona, Daniele and family for 2 nights a few days ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. The house is absolutely amazing modern architecture, located on the edge of the main shipping channel to Wellington giving it wonderful views. There is a lovely historic seaside walking track outside the back door. Fiona and Daniele are environmentally... More

Lovely room, exceptional service, delightful hosts. Great view and exceeded expectations. Thanks so much. Breakfast was lovely and we were given cheese, crackers and wine on arrival. The perfect break away.

This was the perfect start to a short trip to NZ. Greeted by a helpful host Daniela - I was pleased to see that the room I had booked was accurately represented on the internet and had a great view over the ocean, all mod cons (including a coffee machine) a lovely bathroom and plenty of hanging storage space.

This is a luxurious, new, modern, funky, expensive B&B right on the water. But they don't quite get it! It is a contradiction - a five star building, with the cheapest microwave possible, pressed steel teaspoons, cheap glasses, terrible instant coffee (a Nespresso machine is a no brainer in a place like this). The place was COLD. They had had... More

From the moment we came to Villa Melina we felt welcome. Fiona and Daniele greeted us and escorted us to our room where there was a plate of cheese and biscuits waiting and we were given a glass of wine. The room was lovely with the most fantastic view over the harbour through floor to ceiling windows and a lovely... More

In the quiet suburb of Seatoun you will find a nice modern villa ion the seaside. The multinational hosts are quite friendly. The view from my room was direct on the sea, but he usual winds of Wellington will not allow you to stay long on the balcony. However Seatoun is close to one hour bus ride away from downtown... More
