"Another great stay at Richmond Guest House. Our go to accomodation for our stays in Wellington. The host John is friendly and welcoming, the rooms are clean and comfortable, and the location is great for a stroll into the city centre. Free parking on the street is useful and there are great options for breakfast in the dining room. Thanks John."

"Absolutely stunning view!! The room was decorated beautifully and we enjoyed the homemade shortbread cookies upon arrival. It was fun meeting other guests over breakfast and sharing tips. The town is a ten minute walk downhill for great restaurants and activities. We enjoyed our stay and highly recommend."

Our stay at this venue was fantastic! The cabins themselves were extremely charming - new construction with a great kitchenette, modern bathroom, comfortable beds. On the estate, there are sheep to watch and a common area for activities. Dave and Helen were such welcoming and helpful hosts! Their personal touches such as the freshly baked lemon loaf and recommendations to eat in town made the stay even enjoyable.

I don’t know what to say, really, as words would be impossible to convey the charm, beauty, and real friendliness of the proprietors! We were overnighting for the inter island ferry leaving Picton so only stayed one night but wish we had time to stay longer. The accommodations were first rate and literally everything that was needed was provided plus more. If we had lacked anything, our hosts would have gladly provided it. The location is high on a hill overlooking the valley and bay so we...

Retreat was very relaxing. The room we stayed in felt private, there is a nice lounge area outback with a hammock and comfy chairs. The hot tub was nice after a cold day kayaking. Jen was super friendly and helpful offering advice on restaurants in the area. The location is about 10min from downtown Kaikoura but exactly what we wanted in something away from the busy tourist area. Would 100% recommend this to others, great value.

The location was scary at first, since it involved driving uphill on dirt road for about 1.5 miles, at very slow speeds. This also made it very inconvenient to get to the town or local attractions. Abel Tasman National Park is a 1.5 hours drive, each way.
But my room was superb. Very nicely decorated, clean and spacious. Had heated floors in the bathroom, and a private balcony, but the view left a lot to be desired.

We stayed in the aeonium apartment which doesnt have a sea view but is still in a great location in the lovely garden. The apartment was clean spacious and had kettle, toaster, nespresso machine and fridge. An excellent continental style breakfast is self service in the shared kitchen between 8 and 9am. Staff and other buests were feally friendly

I had a very pleasant stay at the Richmond Guest House. I thoroughly enjoyed my conversations with John. The Guest House has a great location and one can walk to many things in Wellington. If I am ever fortunate enough to go back to Wellington I know exactly where I will be staying, it will be the Richmond Guest House. I read several negative reviews and I just did not understand them because my experience there was very positive and would absolutely recommend it to other people.
