After a long stressful drive where I was constantly held up with roadworks and slow vehicles, I was very late and was going to miss the cut off time for the office.
Upon arriving I was greeted by the most lovely lady on the front desk who reassured me it was no problem I was late. I then later checked my messages to see they had tried very hard to contact me ( I was driving so couldn’t check my phone) and had arranged for me to still access my room no matter the time. It honestly made my Day.

We stayed two nights. Our accommodation needs were met as requested. We loved the friendly ambience and being able to mix with other guests. The proximity to the beach was great and being able to enjoy the setting sun over the water from the comfort of the lounge. There was a family-like atmosphere that allowed people to keep their privacy and yet enjoy company if they so wished.
I have already highly recommended it to several although for less active people having their own transport is a...

Was a good motel. Looks a bit shabby from the outside but inside, it’s still okay. We had a broken bathroom sliding door which was the disadvantage of it all but apart from that, it was a nice stay here and very spacious!

Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time to go to Kapiti Island?
For the best wildlife viewing experiences, the ideal time to visit Kapiti Island is during the warmer months, from October to April.
During this period, the weather is generally more settled, which makes for calmer ferry crossings and more comfortable conditions for walking and birdwatching. Many of the island's unique bird species are more active and visible, especially during their breeding season. You're also more likely to spot reptiles like the native skinks and geckos basking in the sun.
Couples looking for a peaceful nature retreat will find these months particularly appealing. The longer daylight hours allow for extended walks along the island's trails, offering more opportunities to observe the diverse ecosystem. The clearer weather also provides excellent photography conditions for capturing the island's natural beauty.
Solo travellers focused on birdwatching or nature photography will appreciate the increased chances of spotting rare species like the takahe, kākā, and kiwi.
