The space This heritage listed apartment is situated above one of the original power substations in Wellington city. Built in 1925, the unusual Arts and Crafts style apartment upstairs was designed to house the family of the substation manager. The substation was decommissioned in the 1990s and all the substation equipment removed. My family purchased the property in a derelict state in 2013 and undertook its painstaking restoration over several years, including earthquake strengthening to approximately 100% NBS. There is also a Single Bedroom in the apartment available for rent though Airbnb. See - https://abnb.me/t0pclVktcN Guest access All the facilities at this location, apart from the bedroom, are shared with the live-in owner so we appreciate respectful guests who will treat our beautiful heritage apartment like their own home.
