When is the best time to go to Lowry Bay?

The best time to go to Lowry Bay is during the summer months, from December to February, when the weather is warmest and sunniest. December to February offers the most favourable conditions for enjoying the bay's outdoor activities. You can expect average temperatures ranging from 20-25°C, great for swimming, paddleboarding, or simply relaxing on the beach. This period also sees the least rainfall, ensuring more uninterrupted sunny days for exploring the coastal tracks or taking a boat trip. For those who prefer a slightly quieter experience with pleasant weather, the shoulder seasons of spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) are also excellent choices. The temperatures are mild, typically between 15-20°C, and there are fewer crowds. This makes it ideal for couples looking for a peaceful getaway, perhaps enjoying coastal walks or dining at local eateries without the peak season rush.

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 24-48 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 Lowry Bay hotel for you.

How much is the nightly rate at a Lowry Bay hotel?

Hotel prices in Lowry Bay often vary, but you can find a great deal on Expedia. Different factors affect nightly hotel rates, such as the time of year or the days of the week you want to book. To find the best deals for your stay, be flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates.

Gilmer Apartment Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This property is in a very central location near to restaurants, busses, and the Quay. We thought it made a great home base from which to explore Wellington. The front desk staff was very helpful when we had questions."
