We only stayed one night. Should have been at least two. John is a lovely gentleman (didn't meet working Cushla) who made us very welcome. He was up early to cook breakfast so we would be in time to catch the ferry. And the breakfast produce was delicious. We stayed in the Wellington room which was very well appointed, with... More

We were lucky to be able to stay in Lambton Heights B&B in Wellington recently. It's a real treasure in a very handy location - so close to the city that you can walk but very quiet and relaxing. It was a full house and we scored the garden room that overlooked a beautiful, well kept terraced garden and was... More

At first sight I wondered how I would manage all the steps to the entrance, and where could I safely park my pedestrian scooter. Thank goodness we had returned our car to Hertz before arrival. Well, John, our gracious and charming host took full charge: he put the scooter in his garage, put it on charge and then carried the... More

Arriving after a very long drive it was disconcerting to find that Lambton Heights has no on-site parking and is located in a street with very restricted parking so our first action was a complicated exchange of parking places with John, one of the owners. Wellington is built on hills and the LH is on a vertiginous slope so the... More

I have stayed at lambton heights several times while travelling to Wellington for work and it is by far the best accommodation I have stayed in. lambton heights is a 5 minute walk from the city centre or you can catch the cable car if you aren't up for the exercise. Even though it is so close to the city... More

John was a most gracious host during our stay at Lambton Heights. Our bedroom was beautifully decorated, our bathroom well-equipped, the lounge very comfortable. We enjoyed an evening soak in the hot tub as well. Breakfast was delicious, and John was always eager to share his knowledge of Wellington; he gave excellent recommendations for dinner. He couldn't do enough for... More

We stayed here for one night on our first day in New Zealand. Despite the short duration of our stay, we were treated as if we were staying for weeks - a very warm, friendly welcome to a wonderful, luxury B&B. The room was very tastefully decorated, with a big, comfortable bed. The excellent bathroom facilities, included a heated floor,... More

We stayed at Lambton Heights for 2 separate evenings on our way to and from driving around the South Island for 2 weeks. Subsequently, we did not have the opportunity to explore Wellington at all. apart from venturing a short walk into the city for dinner at the delightful Boulcott Street Bistro, which the host, John, recommends...a great culinary experience....

Lambton Heights was the perfect place to stay for our visit to Wellington. This beautiful B&B was very close to the sights of Wellington but was in a wonderfully peaceful location. The accommodation is all of first class quality with the finishing touches that make it really special. The breakfasts were delicious and our hosts were charming. I would thoroughly... More

My husband and I had the pleasure of staying at Lambton Heights during our recent visit to Wellington in January 2011. John our host couldn't have been nicer. He was extremely helpful with suggestions of things to do, and places to eat. He welcomes his guests with wine and cheese each everning in the parlor which was a great way... More
