Lambton Heights is conveniently positioned for exploring Wellington. We were given a warm welcome, a sumptuous breakfast, luxury tasteful accommodation with guest lounge. Unexpected evening drinks before we went off to find dinner completed a extraordinarily stylish stay. I thoroughly recommend staying here.

Wished we had longer to stay at this lovely B&B and enjoy more of Wellington. After helping us up the steep stairs with our luggage, our hosts did all they could to make our short stay the most effective - including driving us to the Te Papa museum to get us there faster. The room was spacious and very clean.... More

Very warm welcome from John who assisted us carrying our luggage up the steps to the most wonderful characterful property in a superb location ( minute walk to the cable car for either straight into the centre or up to the Botanic gardens) if taking the ferry for an onward journey its probably worth considering dropping off your hire car...

This gem is tucked away up on the winding hill, just next to downtown. The neighborhood is safe and easy to navigate - especially with John's maps and directions! Our room (with a view) was amazing - comfortable bed, clean, cozy. We had wonderful conversation with the hosts and felt comfortable in their home. The breakfast - oh my the... More

The most relaxing beautiful place. John and Cushla are so friendly and share themselves. Spacious rooms with amazing linen. Breakfast, hot apples, pears, strawberries, a selection of museli, anything you ask for although I could not fit the bacon eggs and tomatoes. What a treat. A very Special Place.
