Bed & Breakfast at Bidwill

What a fine a one bedroom cottage in a middle of a paddock very quiet the cottage was well set out with everything you would need just everything. Bed was very comfortable big deck to sit on with table an chairs cottage had a wash room for clothes and machine staying here you just need your self lovely would recommend it to anyone 

Beautiful, character-filled, lovely wooden floors and early twentieth-century features. Brilliant view over Wellington, and a quiet place to sleep. Wonderful and flexible hosts.

Every time we go to Wellington we stay with Annie and Ross.  From their grand old house, we can walk anywhere downtown or to the interesting restaurants of Newtown and Brooklyn.  From our bedroom, we have great views of the city and harbor.   Annie and Ross are friendly and kind.   They serve a great breakfast, provide wonderful books, and offer great tips on exploring Wellington.

Had to make a quick visit to Wellington for a meeting.  Hadn't been to NZ before and didn't have much to go on when booking accommodation. I didn't need to worry.  Received a warm welcome from Annie and Ross when I arrived and got lots of good advice on where to go for dinner.  After I got back I was invited into the kitchen for a cup of tea and some homemade cake and a chat. Next morning after a tasty breakfast I headed off to my meeting downtown with Ross as my guide giving me a overview of the impact of earthquakes on many of the key buildings. Absolutely no hesitation in recommending Bidwill B&B to anyone visiting Wellington.

We had a great stay in April. The home has stunning views and is in a wonderful location within an easy walk to Te Papa and downtown Wellington. The owners were delightful and parking on the street was easy and very close by. Highly recommended if you need a B&B in Wellington.

We stayed with Annie and Ross on our last night in the North Island before taking the ferry over to Picton to start our adventure in the South.

Annie and Ross are a lovely couple and made us so welcome in their beautiful home overlooking Wellington. They gave us lots of great advice about local restaurants in Wellington and what to do and where to stay in the South Island.

They greeted us with a welcome drink and we really enjoyed the lovely breakfast before departing for the early morning ferry making sure that we knew exactly where the terminal was. It would be quite easy to miss the turn off and end up heading down the motorway!

We would  have liked to spend more time with Annie and Ross and hopefully we will return in the near future. Perhaps even have a game of golf.

Thanks again, Malcolm & Lorraine

This is a great place to stay to explore Wellington. It is walking distance into the city centre. The room was clean and the bed comfortable. The breakfast was delicious with home made muesli and enormous croissant. Annie and Ross made us feel very welcome. A glass of wine was offered and Annie very kindly took us to the ferry terminal on the morning of our departure. Definitely a place to be recommended Thank you.

Came up to Wellington to do the War exhibitions so the location of this B&B could not have been better.
An easy walk down to Te Papa for the Peter Jackson ANZAC exhibition.
Then along the water front to do the shops before an easy walk back up the hill to the War Memorial.
Annie and Ross are great hosts

What a wonderful place! Annie, the host, greeted us with a warm cup of tea after showing us our rooms, arranged for a lovely dinner reservation, and provided us with advice for our upcoming travel through the South Island. Breakfast is home made and delicious, using ingredients that the hosts grow in their garden.
The location is great, the house is on the slopes of a hill and overlooking downtown Wellington. Parking is on the street, we were lucky as a car just left when we arrived, otherwise it could be a challenge. The interior decoration is charming and fits well to the style of the house.
The BnB @ Bidwell offers two rooms which share a common bath and toilet area. As we were the only guests this was not an issue at all, but I wanted to mention it for completeness.

We note that this BnB has all five star ratings, and we really don't want to detract from those great comments.  However they day we stayed it was windy, and I mean, really, really windy.  I mention this because the combination of the winds, limited parking, hilly terrain, and then all the stairs made getting to our room a challenge.  Even once we got to our room, we were constantly reminded of the windy conditions outside.

The house is a lovely vintage home with lots of artwork.  Furniture is arranged nicely, and there are many terrific views overlooking Wellington and the bay.  The bed and bathrooms are very clean.  The property is located in a particularly hilly section of town with narrow streets.  Parking is on the street in front of the B&B, and is very narrow and limited.  We found parking about 100 feet downhill from the gate entrance to the property.  

We agree that Anne is a great host.  She offered us tea upon arrival, and was eager to provide advice on things to consider for our next leg of travel.  She even drove us around town to see the sights, and then dropped us off at a very nice restaurant for dinner. 

So, the facility is great and the host is very gracious.  The bathroom is shared, and parking and stairs are a problem.
