Liberty Apartment Hotel

8/10 Good

"Good place, but parking was difficult. Despite telling the hotel we would arrive after midnight, they still directed us to a parking garage that was closed when we arrived."

Rydges Wellington Airport

10/10 Excellent

"We liked everything the staff were helpful and very friendly assisting us on a couple of minor things but we were happy that they went over and above what was required. We are only ever put off by how expensive it is to buy a drink or have a meal in an airport hotel but it’s like that everywhere . Rather than spending our money at the hotel we bring our own drinks and eat out elsewhere . Bit of a shame really but a great hotel and very convenient"

Museum Apartment Hotel, Independent Collection by EVT

8/10 Good

"Location was close to waterfront, Te Papa Museum, Takina Wellington Convention and Exhibition Centre, short walk to Courtenay Place and handy to New World for drinks and snacks etc... Appreciated the sauna, gym, pool and spa. Valet parking was handy. Staff were friendly and had good advice on where to eat. The room was spacious, and addition of a small couch (rather than a metal chair with no cushion) to watch the sea views from would be nice. Bathroom was tight with shower and bath. Plenty counter space for all my makeup/toiletries. Room had a well equipped kitchenette with dishwasher. With all the dark wood finishes, some more lights inside wardrobe/cubbies or mirror glass would help with that. There was washer/dryer (that I could not figure out - that's a ME problem, not the hotel's fault). I could not hear any noise from rooms around me. All in all, I would happily stay here again."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Sunshine Bay?

The best time to visit Sunshine Bay is during the summer months, from December to February, when the weather is warm and sunny, superb for enjoying the outdoors.

During this period, the average daily temperatures hover around 20-25°C, making it ideal for beach activities, swimming, and exploring the coastal paths. The sea is also at its warmest, inviting you for a dip in the calm waters. Families with children will particularly appreciate the long, bright days for making the most of the bay's sheltered beaches and picnic spots.

The shoulder seasons of autumn (March to May) and spring (September to November) also offer pleasant conditions with fewer crowds. Temperatures are milder, typically ranging from 15-20°C, and there's still plenty of sunshine. This makes it a great time for couples looking for a more peaceful getaway, allowing them to enjoy leisurely walks along the waterfront or dine at the local eateries without the peak season bustle.

While winter (June to August) is cooler and wetter, with temperatures around 10-14°C, it can still be a good time for those who enjoy brisk walks and cosy evenings.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline − this is often within 24 to 48 hours of your scheduled arrival. 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 Sunshine Bay hotel for you.
