We were only planning to stay one night at Ava lodge before traveling to Tongariro. But due to cyclone Vaianu we called Ava lodge and Joe was able to extend our stay a couple extra nights. Ava lodge was very nice, modern, clean and comfortable. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks Joe for helping us out 😀

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.

Friendly staff, easy parking. Beautiful view from esplanade - handy to Ava Lodge. Had everything we required.

Check in and out was fast and easy, the receptionist was really nice and accommodating (we were only slightly late but he did offer to keep reception open until 9PM for us). We got a free upgrade, the room was clean and had everything we needed. Would probably stay again if I'm in the area.

Lovely property, been staying here for years…..I will say that the new owners/operators are a real hit & miss…… sometimes you get a smile but most times you don’t. Certainly don’t feel as welcome as previous owners…… that made this place….. struggling to want to stay again….

Zarette
Everything was great besides the fact that I was somehow allowed via Expedia to book a room for 2 adults and a child (2yrs old and all details put into the site when searching) only to be told when I arrived at check in that our room didn't allow children which was a bit of an awkward situation to be in.
Ended up all having to sleep in one bed which was ok for 1 night (still annoying at 39 weeks pregnant) however I wished that I wasn't given the option to book there if there wasn't any availability of space for the child-maybe it was a site glitch but to be told on arrival when I was about to pay the property that our room wasn't for children seemed a bit of an average thing to do-I would've booked elsewhere had I been notified by the motel once my booking and room request had gone through online about the room not actually being able to cater to us,not on arrival when I had no other option left.

Just not great
No sleep due to bad noise from bathroom. Staff not very friendly at all. Not again.
Steven
The room was nicely designed and well-equipped. Unfortunately it looked directly into another room about 10 feet away so we couldn’t open the curtains. It was clean except for dust on the higher shelves in the closet. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Great stay, would return anytime.
A well equipped clean, comfortable accommodation with helpful & friendly host, conveniently located not only for shops, beach & immediate coast line, it was also great for exploring Wellington with easy access to trains & buses to the city 20 minutes away. It was a quiet position but close enough to the hustle & bustle of city.
David
Parking is limited
Very good standard of equipment. Decor, bedding, amenities generally excellent.
Found number of devices logged to wifi was limited to 4. Problem was that even when devices had been removed a different one could not be added.

Modern take on a motel?
the design reminded me of larger motels in the US with inside access and therefore good security. This is a plus!
We really enjoyed our short stay; friendly staff, great room and nice location, all for a good price! We would happily return again. YMMV

Being situated in Petone this lodge offers an excellent location whether you're spending your time in the Hutt Valley or Wellington City. Clean, quiet, air conditioned, comfortable room with more than enough amenities for however long you choose to stay. Well equipped kitchenette if you ever want to stay in and prepare your own meals. Small but pleasant balcony for fresh air. Lovely bathroom. I loved the big shower space! Excellent service. They were quick to let me know that I'd left a couple of items behind. Highly recommended.

Had a very enioyable stay. Comfortable and cosy room. Parking was fantastic with a lot of spaces in property.
The location is also a plus with close proximity to Jackson Street shops. The drive to the CBD was also pretty good as the lodge was also closs to the motorway.
The hosts were also very friendly and nice to deal with.
Only thing that could be improved would be the small patches of mould in the shower shelf. Apart from this, everything was great. The bed was also very comfy so we had a good sleep. I'd come back to stay again when I come back to Wellington. Thank you for the great stay.
