Lois's room

private room in Ponsonby $350/ wk, includes bills 4 bedrooms 2 bathrooms 3 flatmates not suitable for smokers Single Room available - furnished, including bedding and towels.

We are very lucky to be able to share our rustic home, one of the ‘classic villas’ of old Ponsonby. Inner City and Outer City buses run along Jervois Rd and also along Ponsonby Road with bus stops within few minutes walk from the house.

Our home has a bit of a life of its own, so we ask that people be respectful of the common space and of the fine folks who come into and through our lives here - from all over the globe. There is no smoking on the property. We have a shared kitchen which sometimes features goodies for all. You’d be surprised what comes out of the old gas cooker we continue to use…it was here when we bought the house in 1978…it makes great pizza.

We have 3 furnished rooms that we make available to students or travellers. The rooms are named (inspired by Alice in Wonderland): Dodo’s Nest, Caucus Room and Rabbit’s Hole. We usually rent them out on month by month but we can also provide homey hostel style stays: $65/day (3 day minimum).

We should mention that we have a cat who is very friendly but of course, like all cats, allergy-producing.

If you are a person who is tidy and one who is considerate of others, and if this sounds like a place that will suit you - for a short or long stay - get in touch with us through this cool website and we can arrange a casual visit so you can get a feel for the place.

Cheers from The Websters

We are retired academics (originally from America) who spend most of our time in what we call ‘the castle’ - a sleep out at the back of the house. One of our sons lives here at the house as well. Don’t worry…we are very caring, casual landlords. We have been renting out rooms in this wonderful old villa for years, often to students or travelers from all over the world. A girl from England and a couple from France have been our most recent roomies.
