"We were only planning to stay one night at Ava lodge before traveling to Tongariro. But due to cyclone Vaianu we called Ava lodge and Joe was able to extend our stay a couple extra nights. Ava lodge was very nice, modern, clean and comfortable. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks Joe for helping us out 😀"
"Good spot by the waterfront of petone. Easy parking even for larger vehicles. Lots of dining and shops within walking distance. Room little tired but good place to stay "
"The host was welcoming and the unit was tidy. It was an older part of the complex but the room was suitable for an overnight stay. I have stayed here previously in the newer units which are nice. Unfortunately, the hot water did not work which was frustrating for showers in the morning. Hopefully that was fixed after our stay. "
"Clean and tidy. We got a refurbished room. It was nicely decorated and had all we needed. Reception staff were very nice and we got a nice hello from Mr Pickles the bird."
"Great little cottage and great place. Very clean. It’s a campground, so you will need either to bring your own bedding or to reserve a self- contained unit. "
"The unit was exceptionally clean and the owner was very helpful. It was spacious and had everything we needed for a two night stay. Great parking. It also had an awesome shower."
"Had a small kitchenette with microwave and refrigerator with cookware and dishes. Room was very clean. Had a small balcony.
No restaurant on site but there are options nearby.
There is even a grocery store to buy water and stuff.
We get very safe.
They give access to a well equipped gym which was amazing.
The housekeepers gave us bandaid when my daughter got hurt.
I locked myself out by accident in night- the manager answered the ring and helped open my door within few minutes, even though...
"If this hotel was in the Wellington business district, a short twenty minute drive away, it would easily command double the price. Don’t be fooled by the surrounding area. Inside it’s spotless with generous sized rooms (and we booked the smallest), a huge bathroom, and little extras like a service towel for cleaning equipment. Staff are unfailingly helpful. Very quiet despite proximity to busy roads. Laundry room and elevator. "
"Be careful, you might pass this hotel when looking for it because of the busy traffic it but it's worth the extra care in finding it. The staff was helpful. The rooms were big. Nice bathroom and kitchen. I would stay here again if I came back to Wellington."
"Close to the railway line, so may be too noisy for some. 1 bdrm was spacious. Parking looks like it might be a problem but never was. Handy to train, bus, motorway and outlet shopping. Heating was good, shower was too. Very reasonably priced. I think we'll be back."

When the beach is calling your name, you might want to head down to Petone Foreshore, located 2 mi (3.2 km) from central Lower Hutt. Enjoy the sunset by the shore at Eastbourne Beach.
Petone Settlers Museum is just one of the attractions in Petone, Lower Hutt so you might want to stop by during your trip. If you want to experience more of the culture Lower Hutt has to offer, head to Petone Foreshore, Queensgate Shopping Centre, and Eastbourne Beach.
Ok location not far from Petone rail station which costs $5.50 peak and $4.50 off peak each way in to Wellington.
Two supermarkets just down Jackson Street easy walk, Countdown and Pak and Save.
Good room facilities including cooking facilities. Two TV's in one bedroom apartment.
Plenty of eateries close by.
Most of all.....It was CLEAN and spotless and a credit to their staff.
I stayed at this property for 9 days and it had everything one needs including a fridge, microwave, oven, sink and every kitchen gadget along with dishes, utensils, and pots and pans. My room was clean and well appointed. My room was essentially a studio apartment. The prices are very reasonable. The staff went out of their way to be friendly and helpful. Green Gables will be my go to stay on my next trip to Lower Hutt, Wellington.
This motel was reasonably priced and close to local services (markets, restaurants, gas). It also has a complementary guest laundry room. The rooms were clean. A great fish market with a take-away service is a 1 minute walk. The staff were very helpful.
The BK motel in Petone was one of the best motels i have stayed in, the service was quick and effiecient the rooms were clean and of high stsndatds. I would reccomend this establishment to people who are wanting a private relaxing stay in Petone 5 Stars and more.
I was born and raised in Wellington but haven’t lived there in 22 years. I know the city well and perhaps I’m biased because I grew up a few blocks away. However, I cannot stress this enough, this hotel is in the best location. It is a true gem among chain-affiliated hotels with all the charm of an operating room.
The interiors are beautiful: industrial manor-loft vibes. High ceilings, antique furniture mixed with modern pieces, dark green tiled bathrooms, and an extremely comfortable...
The room had everything we needed and was clean. The hotel restaurant was very good and the staff were pleasant.
The only complaint was the noise. Outside the window it sounded like loud construction all night long. Very disturbing. Other than that we enjoyed our stay and thought it was an excellent location, and close to the car ferry dock to leave for the South Island in the AM.
Clean room and very comfortable bed. Great location, easy to walk down to restaurants, stores and Mount Victoria Park. Decent amount of onsite parking too. Kitchenette had everything you would need.
