You have all the amenities on your doorstep i.e., bush, beach & urban walks, harbour view plus easy access to essential services. Oriental Bay is right by the harbour. OB Retreat is one street back from the bay providing a quiet retreat. There is a short private path leading to the entrance then 24 steps take you to the front door. We have two parks for average sized vehicles (not 10 seater vans) on our car deck you are welcome to use. Parking on the street is also an option. It is free after hours or during the weekend/public hols or the first two hours during the business day. 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. Check in/out times flexible if no "back2back" bookings. You're welcome to drop off bags prior to check-in. Other things to note We welcome up to 15 guests. Base price covers first 6 guests. More than 6 incur extra costs p/person p/night. We appreciate confirming numbers for groups can be a challenge. If so, you're welcome to book the minimum number to secure your dates. Should your group increase after the booking is made the additional guest costs (including children/infants) will need to be advised & paid before/on arrival. We do not allow non paying guests to use OB Retreat without prior approval. Depending on the circumstances, there may be a cost per extra person. Should we discover non paying guests are using OB Retreat without prior approval, the full additional cost per person will apply. If there is an issue with this, you risk being asked to leave. OB Retreat is definitely not a "Party House". If this is your intention - OB Retreat is not for you. We live above OB Retreat and have a security camera outside OB Retreat that may be activated if we are alerted to any concerns. The above requirement has come about after the minimum guests booked and turned up with a large crowd to party all night. Please be assured we are happy for you to have a few guests for dinner. Communication is essential to avoid an unnecessary situation. Come & stay in one of the top 10 suburbs in NZ! "With Auckland suburbs accounting for the bulk of the top 10, the sole non-Auckland location stands out. Oriental Bay, Wellington is the fourth most expensive suburb in New Zealand. Real estate agent Phil Mears, from Tommy’s Real Estate, says it has long been one of Wellington’s top-performing suburbs. “But it’s a bit 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!
