Communication is essential to avoid an unnecessary situation. Come & stay in one of the top 10 suburbs in NZ! "With Auckland suburbs accounting for the bulk of the top 10, the sole non-Auckland location stands out. Oriental Bay, Wellington is the fourth most expensive suburb in New Zealand. Real estate agent Phil Mears, from Tommy’s Real Estate, says it has long been one of Wellington’s top-performing suburbs. “But it’s a bit more exclusive than the others and it’s very tightly held. So there are not many Oriental Bay properties on the market. Values are high though: there are a lot of properties in the $8m to $10m bracket.” Source: Stuff 7 Feb 2021 At OB Retreat your group can experience all that Oriental Bay offers without spending millions!
