From the outside you may not be impressed, but once inside it's like visiting your quirky old aunt. The rooms are spacious, clean, comfortable and quiet but the overall decor is interesting. The host John is friendly and helpful and a good continental breakfast is included. The location is fantastic, walking distance to all major Wellington attractions. No problems with on street parking, just make sure you get a permit from John to display.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Richmond Guest House B&B and interacting with the owner, John. Lovely Art Deco crown molding and porcelain collectibles adorned common spaces. Breakfast offered so many choices of cereal and toppings for the toast! Location is good for walking to the city center which was great because I didn't enjoy driving in Wellington due to the narrow streets. The room had all the appliances needed for our afternoon coffee/tea and a modern private bathroom. Would recommend!

The location was ideal, not far from restaurants and centre. The breakfast was very good and the host was very amusing. We were able to park outside the accommodation and the host was looking out for us to hand over a parking permit. Please note that when parking in N Zealand you have to park the way of the traffic or you can be fined. There was a traffic warden walking down the street. The accommodation was good, clean and we had everything we needed.

It had permit parking which we got given a permit card for otherwise it would have been very difficult.

We stayed 4 nights in Wellington and the stay at the Richmond was worth it. The room was clean and big enough for a family so for the price it was good value. It included a breakfast hosted by John the owner whose brusqueness may offend some of a more delicate nature but being English, we just found it amusing. The building is Victorian as is most of the properties in the area, but the dining room was like stepping back to the 50's/60's with a period radiogram playing during breakfast whilst eating at old fashioned tables etc. It was interesting. The hotel is situated relatively close to most places and during our stay we found short cuts to get to the centre and to also avoid some of the hills.
5.0
We had the big bedroom with 3 single beds, lovely ensuite, tea/coffee making, bar fridge, fan, we didn’t use the rest of the property or had breakfast as we had a big drive the next day, the breakfast room was lovely with a simple breakfast on offer, John is a good host he has a dry sense of humour however we did not have that much contact with him, good location to see the sights and John gave us a parking card to leave on our dash while parking on street. Would stay again.

It is an old property in a quiet location little away from the center but in walkable distance about 10 minutes to all restaurant and pier side. We parked our car just outside the guest house with the coupon card given by staff. Room is small with all basic material, good for short stay as we caught up early ferry next morning to South Island.

John is a great host and gave us a lovely room. The parking permit was especially helpful. Very close to the city centre and its numerous attractions.

We had a great stay. The room was really big with a new bathrom. The B&B is really good located, so you can explore Wellington by walking. Parking is also available in front of the house. The breakfast was good with a lot of options.

The option for included parking was a HUGE selling point. The location was good, with a variety of shops and cafes within 10 minutes walk

The location is close enough to the Wellington retail area to walk there easily. As a solo woman traveller I felt safer staying here than at an impersonal hotel.

The gentleman who runs the B&B is extremely sweet and invested in your having a great time. Breakfast is just cereal and toast, but is nice to have included. Parking is on the street (he gives you a parking pass to put on your dashboard) but there were at least a few spaces available when I was there.

Handy location.
5.0
Our room was huge and tastefully decorated with antique furniture.
There was a Queen bed and 2 King single beds as well as a dining table and couch.
There were 3 of us and we had plenty of space to move around.
The beds were super comfy.
The shower was powerful with added benefit of being supplied with fresh towels every day.
Our room was warm and very quiet.
Their was a huge selection of cereals for breakfast. Our host, John, made fresh toast for each traveller when the entered the dining room.
As well as a TV in our own room, there was a shared lounge in the main building.
We loved our home. It is a great place to stay.

Very pleasant room and clean bathroom . The bed was very comfortable and the room was warm and a good size. It was close to our friends' place and it was not far to get to bus stops and we were happy to walk to and from town as it's pretty close. Thanks John

This place is conveniently located within walking distance of the museum area of the wharf and lots of shopping--a great area for tourists in Wellington. The house is older and a little worse for wear, particularly the exterior. Being alone my room looked a little smaller than the picture. The host was friendly with lots of good info. He was available to answer questions during the continental breakfast time in a nice breakfast room. I had everything I needed.
4.0
The location is quite central, but one does need a car to come and go, at least when it is raining. Breakfast has a good selection. No trafic noise. I have never known about this place before but it is well established. Good value for money, will happily use in future.

Had a pleasant stay here for three nights in Mar 2023. Location is pretty convenient - only two blocks from bus stop served by #2 (main bus line through Wellington), and walkable to CBD or Mt Victoria Park. This B&B is an older building and, like most places we stayed in (or ate at) in NZ was having a hard time getting staff. The proprietor seemed to be doing everything by himself. That said, we had clean towels every day and breakfast (toast, cereal, coffee, tea and juice) was included. Access to laundry facilities was a great bonus for us.

I arrived around 8 pm off the Northern explorer train tired. I was greeted by the Manager with a cup of tea and a short orientation. My room was clean and had beautiful antique furniture. Continental breakfast was fantastic with multiple cereal choices, toast and many spreads. Would stay there again.
