The Orange Lodge is a unique space, so welcoming and comfortable. It is very well equipped and the hosts have provided detailed information to make for an enjoyable stay.There is lots of interesting memorabilia relating to the property's former life as a Masonic lodge.

A grand piece of history in Petone

Don't be discouraged by the outside appearance of this gem of a place. As soon as you enter you are presented with a spacious, verging on opulent living space. Everything was as listed. Beautifully maintained and clean, we had a cosy couple of nights during some petty awful weather. Underfloor heating, comfortable beds, efficient heating was just what we needed.Only minute criticism was no coffee plunger but everything else was great. I have never seen so many towels in one cupboard and the library was interesting. An added bonus was waking up to the sound of tuis in the trees. Perfect location for places to eat, groceries and an ice cream on the beach. Transport links were a breeze.We chose this place as my son lives and works in Petone (Lighthouse Cinema - worth a visit) and was a pleasant change from staying in the city. Surprisingly quiet and peaceful. Highly recommend this accommodation.

Central, spacious and quirky

Centrally located with easy access to public transport to Wellington. Slightly awkward layout with toilet downstairs from 2 bedrooms and across the living room from the 3rd. Cleaning could have been more thorough, but the main things were fine. An unusual place to stay. Comfortable and convenient. No useable outside space though, unless you count the balcony off one bedroom.Definitely hasn't got a garden, just a concrete parking area with a pot plant. Over all a good option for a visit to Wellington.plant.andconvenient.

Fantastic heritage home from home stay

This property is gorgeous and well appointed with everything we needed. We stayed over Christmas and the owners even put up a Christmas tree for us. The location is perfect for driving to Wellington and the Hutt valley.

So glad we stayed as the property is spacious, well set up to prepare home—style meals and so close to a few great restaurants. The beach is just a short stroll away and the public transport into Wellington is close and surprisingly efficient. Really enjoyed our stay in Petone.

The Perfect Location

This was such a unique property and is in the perfect location! Just a short stroll to local shops, cafes and the water front. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay including learning about the history of the building. The hidden toy room under the stairs was a highlight for our two year old son. It had modern amenities and despite being a large open space we were able to heat the home easily. We would stay again next time we visit Petone.

Wonderful place

This home has so much character. I was a bit freaked out upon entering the house as it felt a little Ghost adventure-y...lol. it has a vibe for sure. But its just steeped in history...not ghosties. Super clean. Super comfortable. The locaction was spectacular and a quick walk downtown. Walki nstead of drive, youll get there faster avoiding trying to find downtown parking. The Victoria Tavern was great for dinner. Caffiened was amazing for breakfast. The only problem you might have with the housr is if you have constant nighttime bathroom runs as it is downstairs. Wonderful place!!

Unique accommodation in quiet street ideal for families / groups.

Loved the historical ambience of the building, and the modern conveniences incorporated in period style. Comfortable beds and plentiful kitchen-ware and linen available to use. Surprised by the lack of actual wine glasses so we used tumblers and beer handles! An expresso machine would have topped it off!

An absolute privilege and pleasure to stay in such a luxuriously renovated 1912 Hall. So large and spacious. Everything you you ever need. Three lovely bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen, dining and living area. Washing machine and dryer. A place to park your car. Pure luxury. So close to everything, but nice and quiet. Very safe.
