Pipinui Point
Private, remote-feeling, and just half an hour from central Wellington.
Clifftop seclusion on Wellington's west coast
Pipinui Point sits 250 metres above the Tasman Sea on about 650 hectares of coastal farmland, yet it's only around 30 minutes from central Wellington. It's one building for up to four guests - two king bedrooms, a big living space, and glass that pulls the coastline inside.
The outdoor hot tub faces west, so you soak while the sun drops behind the South Island. A continental breakfast is included, and you can add chef-cooked dinners or self-cater.
Days here are slow: clifftop walks, long views, and the sound of waves on the rocks below. Owners Tom and Hannah have thought through every detail. It's a rare thing - properly private and wild-feeling, without a long drive to reach it. Best for couples or a small group who want to switch off.
