Ava lodge is brilliant. Clean, comfy beds, spacious and we were lucky enough to have a balcony. The beds are comfy with lovely linen. And the bathroom especially the shower is huge.

Great town. I lived there for over 60 years!
Shops and dining in close proximity, nice neighbourhoods
Petone is way more interesting than Petone
Feels like home.
We stayed in PETONE, some great little cafes on Jackson Street, the main shopping street. Walk along the beachfront and Wharf. Catch a train into town.
