The Victoria Manor | Harbourview Residence

About This Space

Welcome to a tranquil retreat nestled on the hillsides of Mount Victoria in Wellington. This beautifully appointed vintage home offers sweeping panoramic views, exceptional privacy, and a serene atmosphere. Comfortably accommodating up to 8 guests, it’s perfect for families or groups seeking refined comfort and quiet luxury.

Accessed by a private hillside cable car, the journey up becomes part of the experience—creating a true sense of exclusivity from the moment you arrive.

Ideally located near the city centre, with 20mins walking distance to Oriental Bay and many of Wellington’s most iconic attractions. On a warm day, simply head down for a swim and enjoy the ocean just moments from your doorstep.

Perched midway up the hillside, the home is surrounded by nature. You’ll feel closely connected to the outdoors—so occasional small insects are a normal part of the natural environment.
