Hi Neighbours,

We have fully furnished room available now for short or long term stays in Wilton. Please message me if you or someone else is interested.

The room is in our downstairs flat and you'll be sharing common areas with another couple.

So far we have had people from the UK, Germany and USA stay for 4 months to 1 year at a time (but happy for shorter or longer stays). We have enjoyed meeting new people and showing off what Wellington has to offer.

The room and house are fully furnished, and include everything you need (linen, unlimited wifi, power, netflix, rubbish collection, even washing powder) - you just need to bring your bag.

For more information, check out our trademe ad:

Feel free to contact us here or through trademe.

It is a small area with now four new bus stops plus an access road, now closed to traffic except buses. Driving, parking and turning in the shopping area is almost impossible. Brooklyn was such a great little destination for locals. It is sad to see it now so disrupted and difficult to access.
