Bolton Hotel

8/10 Good

"The buffet breakfast was very disappointing and absolutely not worth the $35 charge. The selection was extremely limited — basically just scrambled eggs and sausages that weren’t even labelled, so it was unclear what they were. There were no kid‑friendly options, and surprisingly no basic spreads like peanut butter, chocolate spread, or honey. For a hotel breakfast, the lack of variety was noticeable, and the overall offering felt closer to a $5 budget meal rather than something priced at a premium. Overall, the value, quantity, and quality were far below expectations."

James Cook Hotel Grand Chancellor

10/10 Excellent

"My go to hotel when travelling to Wellington. The staff are helpful, my room is always ready when I arrive and the rooms are nice and quiet. Bonus is that their hotel lift takes you straight down to Lambton Quay for ease of accessing the shops and eateries. The buffet breakfast is pretty good too."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Waiwhetu?

The best time to visit Waiwhetu is generally during the summer months, from December to February, when the weather is warm and sunny, making it ideal for exploring the region.

During this period, you can expect average temperatures ranging from 20°C to 25°C, with long daylight hours. This is superb for enjoying outdoor activities such as walking along the Hutt River Trail, visiting local parks, or taking day trips to the nearby beaches. It's also a great time to experience local events and markets.

For those who prefer slightly cooler weather and fewer crowds, the shoulder seasons of autumn (March to May) and spring (September to November) are also excellent choices. Temperatures are milder, typically between 15°C and 20°C, and the scenery is often beautiful with autumnal colours or spring blossoms. This can be particularly appealing for couples looking for a relaxed trip with pleasant weather for sightseeing without the peak season bustle.

While winter (June to August) brings cooler temperatures and more rainfall, it can still be a good time to visit if you're interested in indoor attractions or don't mind crisp weather.

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 Waiwhetu hotel for you.
