Adina CityLife Wellington

10/10 Excellent

"We had an overnight stay at this hotel and loved it. The location was fabulous, reception staff were friendly and having a kitchen within our 2 bedroom accommodation was a bonus. Would certainly stay with you again"

Gilmer Apartment Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great location in downtown close to Lambton quay with shopping and restaurants aplenty. Parking available at a fee which is handy and also convenient being along the side of the hotel. Our room was a 1 bedroom with separate lounge/kitchenette so space was comfortable as were the beds. Bathroom is tight however with very small shower cubicle only so if you are above average size you will struggle. Overall great stay so would recommend."

The Viv Hotel Wellington

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed here last year, but just for one night, and must have been upgraded, as it was quite a large room. But the downside was that it was at the fornt of the hotel, on Vivian Street, and sadly quite noisy. This time, I was here for a week, in a basic room. And I was more than happy with it. Although not a lot of room to snack and store clothes, it was immaculately clean and modern - and most importantly of all, quiet. The only downside was that being on Level 1, it had the carpark right behind it, so you would get some occasional noise. But so cozy and relaxing. Can't really rate the hotel too much on it's facilities, as they are vey basic, but what they have is fine, and the hotel is extremely clean. If you utilise the hotel's limited overnight parking, it can be a bit pricey, but that's Wellington. Street parking is available in the surrounding areas, but I would suggest downloading the PayMyPark app to make it easier. Overnight it's free, but at least with the app, you can buy parking from your phone without having to go out to your car. It's in a great location, with an easy walk to many great restaurants, bars, and cafes nearby. A few shady characters around, but just stick to the main streets, and you'll be fine. Will always stay here in Wellington when I'm in town. Really like this place."

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.

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.

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.
