The Lighthouse is a self-catering rental in a converted lighthouse at 326 The Esplanade in Island Bay, Wellington. It sleeps two guests across three floors: the kitchen and bathroom are on the ground floor, the bedroom is on the second, and the living room with sea views is at the top, with access to a balcony. The kitchen has a table and chairs, a toaster, tea, coffee and milk, and towels and bed linen are provided. The bedroom has a TV and DVD player. The website says Island Bay is about 10 minutes from the airport and 15 minutes from the city centre, with shops, restaurants and cafés within a short walk and buses from the bus station.
Guests who have stayed describe the place as atmospheric, with breathtaking views, and say the host was helpful and friendly and the breakfast was great. The website suggests walks along the beach, the sea cave and the seal colony at Red Rocks.
