Wellington Beach Suite  

On the Porirua/Plimmerton fringe, steps from Plimmerton Beach and a short drive from Pataka Museum of Arts and Culture. This beach hotel sits about 11 km from the city centre and is within easy driving distance of Raumati and Brendan beaches.

Rooms come with private furnished balconies and kitchenettes with refrigerators and ovens. Expect flat-screen TVs with premium channels and bathrooms with separate showers and deep soaking tubs. The vibe leans relaxed and coastal — think terrace views, a garden to stroll, and simple comforts suited to short stays or slow weekends.

Rent bicycles to explore the shoreline, chill on the terrace or in the garden, and fire up the barbeque or picnic in the outdoor area. Onsite library, laundry and luggage storage add practical ease. Free self parking is available, and a 24-hour roundtrip airport shuttle can be arranged for a surcharge.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the property keeps you connected. Tour/ticket assistance and luggage storage help streamline arrivals and departures.

There’s an on-site coffee shop/café for morning kickstarts. Full breakfasts are offered daily for a fee, and limited-hours room service is available for quieter nights in.
