The Dwellington is brand new, with a stylish twist on a backpackers hostel. We guarantee you won't have stayed in a hostel as luxurious as this anywhere in New Zealand. Over half of the Dwellington is dedicated to common areas, including the chef's style kitchen, the impressive 5 meter long Redwood dining table that overlooks the tennis courts, table-tennis/games room, TV/DVD room, huge outdoor spaces and more...
We offer our guests FREE WiFi and FREE breakfast everyday during their stay. Reception is open until 10pm daily but we can arrange to greet you if you're arriving later. We have a range of rooms including spacious private double's, twins, triples, 4 bed dorms, a girls dorm and a generous 8 bed dorm.
The friendly staff can help with booking local activities and onward journeys including the Inter islander and Bluebridge Ferries.
The Dwellington is located in historic Thorndon, one of Wellingtons oldest suburbs and home to some great people, bars, restaurants, sights and the grounds of Parliament.
We are just a stones throw away from the supermarket, tennis courts, local heated outdoor swimming pool. A couple of minutes walk to the main bus and train stations, the ferry terminals, Westpac Stadium, the Botanical gardens and the cable car.
Courteney Place and Cuba Street are just a 5 minute cab ride or a 15 minute walk, so close enough to enjoy the hustle and bustle or the night life that Wellington has to offer but our peaceful location makes for a relaxing stay.
