When is the best time to go to Point Howard?

The best times to visit Point Howard are during the warmer months, specifically from December to February, which is New Zealand's summer, or during the shoulder seasons of March to May (autumn) and September to November (spring). During summer, the weather is typically warm and sunny, making it ideal for enjoying the coastal activities and the natural beauty of the area. You can expect long daylight hours, superb for exploring the nearby walking trails or simply relaxing by the water. This is a great time for families looking to make the most of the outdoor opportunities. The shoulder seasons offer a pleasant balance of good weather and fewer crowds. In autumn, the temperatures are mild, and the changing colours of the foliage provide a beautiful backdrop for walks. Spring brings fresh, green landscapes and blooming flowers. These periods are particularly well-suited for couples seeking a more relaxed and tranquil experience, perhaps enjoying a scenic drive along the coast or a quiet picnic.

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 Point Howard hotel for you.

"The worst motel I’ve stayed in for ages. Untidy property; unhelpful manager; staff behaving badly (called police when my autistic son was unwell instead of just checking in on us); mould on shower curtain; radiator heating not working. And the ONLY place to take a $100 bond from me on my entire 8 night trip. Super slow process to get my cash back Highly NOT recommended Stay away! It’s cheap for a reason. Yuk."

Top Point Howard Hotel Reviews

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."
