We stayed one week and were pleased that Petone provided such easy access to Wellington (take the metro train, only 12 minutes!) and by car to the Hutt Valley area. It was also very close to the beach and a brisk walk to the main shopping street. It was near to the main road, which inevitably meant some road noise.... More

The new owners have moved in and are carrying on the very high standard set by former owners. Worth as look and handy to all Wellington attractions. I have been staying here for 10 years as it is the most handy place for me to carry out my auditing of the Quality Mark at Supermarkets & Butcher shops going up... More

I would stay here again, better that staying in Wellington. Very helpful, rooms are Ok, TV channels a bit limited but no problems. Across the road and you are on the beach, 3 minutes up the road and you are on the main drag with bars and restraunts. 15 minute train ride into the city.

Last minute decision - to stay in Petone. This motel was close to everything that we needed. Clean and comfy and the service was very good and friendly.

Found this motel via the internet when looking for places to stay for a night before crossing on the interisland ferry from Wellington to Picton. I wavered in wether to book here initially as it was not in 'central' Wellington but I am very happy that we picked this accomodation. It turned out to be less than 10 minutes to... More

We found this place purely by chance and it turned out to be a great find. We got the last available room and were able to park the car just outside. The reception was warm and friendly and keen to help with maps and directions. It was really close to the sea front and also to Jackson Street where there... More

The only place I would stay and this is reflected in the 8 years that I have utilised the motorlodge. The welcome and the rooms are always as they should be. Norm, Annette and Leeanne go way beyond the cause. An example is recently when I arrived in a mad dash from Auckland for an urgent meeting late at night... More

Always recieve a warm welcome and smiles. Beach within walking distance, as well as town. Quiet and friendly cute dog, and polite kids. Little road noise but you get that anywhere. Always a pleasure to stay and look forward to the next time.
