Marksman Motor Inn  

In central Wellington, this motor-inn–style mini-hotel sits within walking distance of Massey University and Oriental Bay Beach. You’re minutes by car from Te Papa, Cuba Street Mall and the Interislander ferry terminal, with Basin Reserve and the theatre precinct also close by.

Small and practical with 19 guestrooms and a mix of studios plus 1- and 2‑bed units, some offering full kitchens. Rooms feature refrigerators, microwaves, pillowtop beds with Egyptian cotton sheets, 40-inch LED TVs with satellite and bathrooms with tubs or showers and hairdryers. Recently refurbished, the vibe is tidy, comfortable and no‑fuss.

Free off-street self-parking, an on-site restaurant and a tour desk make exploring easy. Laundry, dry-cleaning and a safe-deposit box are available. Wireless internet access keeps you connected—plus you’re close enough to the bay for sea-breeze mornings.

Express check-in and check-out streamline short stays. Laundry/dry-cleaning services, free self parking and wireless internet support business and conference travelers.

An on-site restaurant serves local flavors and light meals. Full breakfasts are offered for a fee to fuel downtown days.
