The biggest problem with this accommodation is the check in process. We arrived from the airport after midnight and entered the code we had been sent to open the locked box containing the keys to the apartment. Unfortunately we had been given the wrong code and so couldn’t open the box. If there are any problems there is a phone number to call but given our arrival time I didn’t have a New Zealand Sim card and at that time of night it’s impossible to get one. We were placed in a very uncomfortable and potentially unsafe position by the operators of Willis Village. I think that if the operator is not going to have a person at the accommodation to ensure check in then they need to get the code correct every single time. If they got it wrong with us then they can get it wrong with someone else. If you are planning to stay here i recommend that you reconfirm the check in code with the operators before arrival and if you are arriving out of hours make sure that you have a New Zealand phone working in case you need it.
We stayed in Number One Apartment. Even with the curtains closed it is still light inside at night because of the bright lights in the courtyard and at the front of the village so you’ll need an eye mask if you’re a light sleeper. Street noise can also be a problem. The window in the bedroom won’t open fully and windows, signs, whatever else it was rattles in the wind, which affects sleep. The apartment is on multiple levels and there are steps throughout which could be a problem for some. There are no instructions on how to use the oven and it may not have been working. There was no plug for the sink and no dish rack for drying the dishes. There were limited dishes – only four large plates – and because the sink couldn’t be plugged you have to keep using the dishwasher repeatedly when it isn’t full. Also there is no room in the main bedroom for even one suitcase. These are relatively minor quibbles compared to the check in fiasco and I have given a low rating mainly for the very poor check in. On the plus side Willis Village is in a great location.

Be warned.

Pros: great location, can walk to everything you need. Food, shops, attractions etc. Beds were super comfy, all rooms were really large and came with fans to fight off the summer heat (and heaters for winter). Great space for staying with friends, we all had a lovely time.

Cons: place is very tired looking, needs a good clean and upkeep. Very noisy at night but that is just Wellington for you. Area does attract rough crowds, we witnessed someone smashing the restaurant windows one night. Bigger bins would be appreciated as they don't clean your room for 7 days. No AC in any of the apartment. Thankfully we only came back to sleep and watch movies at night, so it wasn't a deal breaker.

Just alright

After a long flight with young children they lets in the drop box didn’t work in our door.  We had to call three times before waiting a long time for someone to turn up with active keys.   
This really wasn’t what we needed 

Waited an hour to get keys that worked

Disappointing. Firstly no staff onsite when arrived and had to call number on door. Check in meant to be at 2pm when we arrived but was told room not ready and we had to wait an hour to get in. Was expecting a park for car which there wasn’t and we were forced to use multi story park down the road and pay $28 per day. Very difficult to get luggage from car park then lug them upstairs in the rain. 
No hot water In shower for our 2 night stay- tried to contact them with no luck.
Very noisy at night from restaurants/bars below.
Strong smell of curry/Asian food from 7am in the morning- not nice.
The bedrooms were hot and stuffy. 
Clothes dryer didn’t work.

Noisy. Smelly. No parking. No hot water in shower. Hard to carry luggage upstairs.  Dryer didn’t work. …….

perfect in every way!
great place to stay with kids and family but as well if  you are on business in Wellington.
it is located in the city close to all the bus stops and you can get around easily w/o problems

great stay

2 bedroom apartment in good  location for walking e/where for adult @ teenager.
Easy entry with lockbox h/ever a human at reception would be helpful for other matters as can call  24hrs/dy h/ever not always available .
Given front rooms no.3  on street which was torturous with traffic, late revellers @ sounded like indoor gym above?

To their credit we were moved to the back which was heavenly in comparison. 



Spoiled by Noise

No plug on basin 
TV was meant to be streaming but gad no internet connection
No clothes hangers in wardrobe
Few tea bags for 4 nights
Poor lighting meant it was difficult to read
Heated towel rail dud not work
For the price we would have expected someone to check all was in order before we arrived.
The best part was the security guard who sorted out noisy neighbours

Disappointing

Excellent location. Great for our family of 4 adults. Beds we ok, could be better. Very spacious living area. 1 bathroom with toilet in bathroom, a separate toilet would be great, but not a deal breaker. We were able to leave our luggage on day of check out at the Boulcott Suites around the corner, until we were ready to depart for the airport. There is no parking at this property, luckily we were there over the new year weekend and parking in the city was free, so we were able to park on the street just outside. There is a parking station across the road, which is not free.

Great stay, brilliant location!

We were a group of four staying in a two-bedroom apartment. The village doesn't have a reception but checking in was very easy. The apartment is clean and the beds are comfortable. The location is ideal for both city centre and the airport.
The downside is that the decor is a bit dated and not too cheerful and the building itself need redecorating. Not many utencils provided if you plan to cook something,  but we were told that you can request what you need.
overall, it was a good experience and we will stay there again.

A very comfortable stay in central Wellington which won't break the bank

We had a two bedroom apartment. It was quite spacious and well appointed. It was a little tricky to find and a lot of stairs! It was easy walking distance to great shopping and eating. The parking is across the road and quite reasonable. It would not be suitable for the less able because of all the stairs. However, excellent for a family as many budget eateries located in the courtyard.
