About this property

An idyllic hideaway set amongst native bush.

Sorrento Bay is situated 30 minutes (depending on traffic) from the Wellington Airport and 20 minutes from the city centre. In close proximity are the seaside villages of Petone and Eastbourne, both boasting great cafes, restaurants, boutique shopping and galleries. You will also find all other essential amenities here.

There are a number of walking tracks in the surrounding hills or you could stroll around the waterfront to the neighbouring bays. Enjoy the local beach or take a short drive to the popular Days Bay beach or any of the other beaches lining the coastal drive to the village of Eastbourne. You're spoilt for choice.

You couldn't get a better location. Spend the day exploring the city then escape the hustle and bustle back to tranquillity...or never leave!

Ein Juwel steil über dem Meer
Wir haben uns in dieser Wohnung sehr wohlgefühlt. Die Vermieter wohnen direkt nebenan, 100% Privatspähre sind aber trotzdem gegeben. Nach einer etwas versteckten und sehr steilen und schmalen Auffahrt taucht ein in warmen Farben gehaltenes Haus mit tollen baulichen Feinheiten (Gill ist Architekt, das merkt man an vielen Details) auf, in dem es an nichts fehlt. Die Treppe hoch ins 2. Schlafzimmer ist tatsächlich abenteuerlich, aber auch besonders. Mit dem Bus geht es in 50 Minuten nach Wellington-Mitte, mit der Kleinfähre, 10 Minuten entfernt, in 20 Minuten. Sehr netter Kontakt mit den Vermietern.Waren tolle Tage. Vielen Dank für Eure Gestfreundschaft, Gus und Gill!

Sorrento Bay
We stayed here for 3 nights. The views are spectacular. It was a good location for exploring Wellington and also for our early ferry crossing to the South Island. Overall it was a pleasant stay. The hosts are friendly and helpful.

Great spot to explore the Bays
Quirky, funky little place with great views. Easy drive around the bays & access to Wellington via the ferry. Tricky driveway with a large vehicle, but otherwise great little pad.
Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2023
