For members of the public and RWNZ members looking for accommodation in Wellington and Auckland, Rural Women New Zealand may have the solution for you.

Honda House - Wellington

Honda House is situated beside Rural Women New Zealand’s Wellington headquarters in Hawkestone Street, Thorndon. It is owned and operated by our organisation as a Bed and Breakfast, and has nothing to do with Japanese cars!

The building was bought through a bequest to Rural Women New Zealand from Dr Agnes Bennett OBE. She asked that it be called ‘Honda’ after her childhood home in Sydney. Her father, a civil engineer, named the Sydney house after a picturesque South American village called Honda, which he visited on his travels.

Honda House

Situated close to Parliament, the Railway Station and Lambton Quay and easy to find from the Southern Motorway (exit at Hawkestone Street), Honda House is a popular place to stay.

It is used by both members and the public and provides a friendly and relaxed environment.

Built in 1929, the house contains many original features, including stained glass windows, wood panelling, staircase and an Art Deco bathroom. Guests have access to an upstairs kitchen where they can prepare meals, and a spacious TV lounge. Honda is also used for seminars and meetings. Lunches catered on request. The continental breakfast is reputedly one of the best in Wellington.

You will be warmly welcomed by Wendy Sun, Honda House's manager.
