Eating and Drinking

EATING AND DRINKING

Boho Bach is self-catering. Just bring your own food and drink, and cook meals using the facilities provided in your kitchen. You'll find all the cutlery, crockery, pots and pans that you'll need.

If you want a break from cooking at any stage, Scorching Bay is 5 minutes walk away and has the famous Scorch O Rama cafe right across the road from the best swimming beach in Wellington. A 10-minute walk in the other direction takes you to Miramar with lots of top cafes and restaurants.

The Larder and Chocolate Fish Cafe come recommended for breakfast and lunch, and Oikos is a fantastic Greek restaurant for dinner. Park Road Kitchen and The Roxy are also great dining options.

Miramar’s own craft brewery, Double Vision Brewing, is a 10-15minute walk and often has food trucks and live music to complement its local brews.

You also have the option of Uber Eats!

Things to Do

THINGS TO DO

Whether you're keen to enjoy hustle and bustle of Wellington City or escape from it, Boho Bach is the perfect inner-city stay.

A 5-minute walk will get you to Scorching Bay, the best swimming beach in Wellington and the Scorch O Rama cafe across the road is a great place to enjoy a coffee or brunch. A 10-20 minute walk in the other direction takes you to Miramar with the Weta Studio Tours, the Roxy cinema and many top eating places.

A 20-minute drive will get you straight into the heart of Wellington City with its fantastic shopping, buzzing cafe scene and lively nightlife.

Wellington is famous for the World of Wearable (WOW) Show every year in September/October and the Wellington International Arts Festival in March/April, but there is always plenty going in 'The Coolest Little Capital in the World'!

“ Boho Bach is the perfect escape to enjoy the magic of a kiwi bach tucked away in nature. Soak in the sunshine while looking out to the ocean and listening to the bird song. Even better enjoyed with my dog. Couldn’t recommend enough. ”
