Booklovers B&B

Eclectic, homely, welcoming. Jane has set up a comfortable haven where conversation is natural and the accommodation ticks all the right boxes. My room was all I expected, no corporate styling but a feeling of actually being invited into someone’s home to be looked after.

This is a pleasant bed and breakfast located at the edge of a park within 10-15 minutes walk of downtown. The room was comfortable and quiet with good beds and a bathroom/ shower. The owner and helpers were pleasant and accommodating. Parking was easy nearby. The breakfast was tasty but not plentiful.

We were lucky enough to stay at the Booklovers B & B in Wellington and hosted by Jane. She is a wonderful host and welcomed us to her city with such happiness and enthusiasm. We had a lovely downstairs room and the accommodations were great - a comfortable bed, hot shower and plenty of books to look over. Jane gave us great information about how to make the most of our time in Wellington and her home is so perfectly located - close to the city center and yet close enough to walk to Mount Victoria. A perfect gem of a place.

Booklovers Bed & Breakfast is a very unique Wellington experience. This older accommodation had a comfortable and welcoming feel, and we were able to walk to everything in Wellington. Breakfast was excellent and a fun experience with an interesting mix of travelers. Jane was a friendly host and quite fascinating to engage. Jane made us feel welcome in a way that made us feel like guests in her own home. We would recommend Booklovers for a great Wellington experience. This was a memorable stay.

We were just one night in Wellington waiting for the ferry. Jane greeted us with typical Kiwi hospitality and got us settled in. The B&B is situated nicely up against a greenbelt laced with bike and trekking paths. The bus line runs right by Booklovers, but we opted to drive (next time we'll take the bus... we found driving in Wellington more challenging than elsewhere in NZ). After dinner we enjoyed a glass of wine in the parlor/lounge and were delighted that Jane joined us for some most enjoyable conversation. We feasted a wonderful meal at breakfast - toast, muesli, eggs, etc - top notch. We were catching a late ferry and store luggage at Booklovers while exploring a bit more of Wellington. The room was very comfortable and the hosts were all you could hope for.

This is a beautiful and unique place to stay. We loved the Katherine Mansfield room - it was spacious, peaceful and with an excellent en suite. Breakfast at Booklovers is a shared occasion with other guests who are staying, in our case it was very much a United Nations table! The food choice was both awesome and delicious.
