I had a pleasant one-night stay at Carlton Gore B&B before catching the ferry to the South Island. The room was large, airy, and extremely comfortable, though I found the breakfast options somewhat limited. The hosts were exceptionally accommodating, providing a lovely atmosphere and helpful service throughout my short visit. Overall, it's a great choice for travelers looking for a quick and quality stay. 🌅🍳

I had a lovely stay at Carlton Gore B&B, which is located in a desirable suburb of Wellington with beautiful views of the bay. The house is elegantly decorated and offers a very comfortable stay, though the lack of a wardrobe was a minor inconvenience. Overall, it was a very good value for money and I would recommend it to others.

My stay at Carlton Gore B&B was a mixed experience. The house itself is beautiful and Janice, the host, is warm and welcoming. However, the so-called luxury experience fell short with issues like a lack of proper towels and a shared bathroom that didn't feel comfortable at times.

Rooms

5.0

While my room was small, it was adequate for my needs and overlooked the garden and sea. However, the bed's placement near the entrance made it noisy when other guests were leaving early.

Service

5.0

Janice was friendly, but the overall service felt a bit off. There were limitations during breakfast that made it inconvenient.

Location

6.0

The B&B is in a quiet neighborhood and a pleasant walk along the harbor. It takes about 25 minutes to reach Te Papa, which is nice.

Dining

5.0

Breakfast options were limited and service felt rushed. I had to ask for cereal even after selecting a cooked option.

Facilities

The common areas were inviting, and the refrigerator was a bonus. But the shared bathroom situation could have been better managed.

My stay at Carlton Gore B&B was a lovely experience filled with warmth and charm. The views of Wellington Harbour are truly amazing, especially during breakfast. While my room was on the smaller side, it was still very comfortable and beautifully decorated. The location is ideal for walking into town, but the journey back does involve a bit of a climb, which might not suit everyone.

Rooms

My room was stylish and comfortable with plush furnishings. The decor added a lovely touch to the overall ambiance.

Service

Janice and Brent were fantastic hosts. They truly went out of their way to ensure my comfort and shared great recommendations for sightseeing.

Location

The B&B is perfectly situated on a bluff. A 15-minute stroll along the Oriental Parade leads straight into town, though the uphill walk back is a workout.

Dining

Breakfast was absolutely wonderful. I enjoyed scrumptious meals and had the pleasure of chatting with other travelers.

6.6/10

My stay at Carlton Gore B&B had its moments, but overall it was disappointing. The house is beautifully decorated and conveniently located, but the experience did not match the advertised luxury. I faced issues with service and the room's amenities that fell short of expectations. 😕

Rooms

I stayed in the Blue Room, which was small and had a shared bathroom. The view was limited, and I found the towels damp and of average quality.

Service

5.0

The welcome felt offhand, and the breakfast command felt rushed and limited. Service might have been affected since I arrived at dinner time, which could explain the lack of warmth.

Location

8.0

The B&B is situated in a lovely suburb and is conveniently close to Oriental Parade, making it easy to walk to the city center and Te Papa.

Dining

5.0

Breakfast options were limited; a choice between cooked or continental, but I had to ask for cereal. The quality of the breakfast setup felt below standard.

Facilities

5.0

Shared bathroom amenities were lacking; there wasn't enough room for my toiletries, and the quality of the furniture and decorations seemed average.
