When is the best time to go to Herald Island?

The best time to go to Herald Island is during the summer months, from December to February, when the weather is warm and sunny, superb for enjoying the island's outdoor activities. During this period, you can expect average temperatures ranging from 20°C to 25°C, with long daylight hours. This makes it ideal for exploring the coastal walkways, relaxing on the beaches, or enjoying water sports like kayaking and paddleboarding in the Waitematā Harbour. It's also the peak season for many local events and markets. Should you prefer fewer crowds and slightly cooler, yet still pleasant, weather, the shoulder seasons of spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) are also excellent. Temperatures are milder, typically between 15°C and 20°C, and the island is still beautiful with blooming flowers in spring or colourful foliage in autumn.

If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our ‘Fully refundable property’ filter during your search to find the right Herald Island hotel for you.

JetPark Hotel Auckland Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Check-in was simple and quick The food delivery was excellent All round the staff were very accommodating"

ibis budget Auckland Airport

8/10 Good

"The room was fine. Our problem was that after arriving at 2 in the morning, we were given a room that was already occupied! Not so much of a problem for us, but felt quite sorry for whoever we woke up. Staff seemed a bit unconcerned. Also, unfortunately never got to try the breakfast because we had to leave early."

The Grand by SkyCity

10/10 Excellent

"Loved our stay and very much appreciated the room upgrade, card and chocolates - a super lovely gesture to make our anniversary even more memorable. The rooms seemed well sound proofed from city noise outside. The room had everything we needed, comfortable beds and well thought out. All the staff were so friendly and helpful, a really good vibe. The heated pool was nice especially if you hit it at a quiet time or respectful families - but if you’re unlucky to get squealing kids in the pool it feels chaotic and loud. The location was perfect and so close to great restaurants. Sky Bar was a highlight, great cocktails and amazing views."
