When is the best time to go to Torbay?

The best time to visit Torbay is during the New Zealand summer months, specifically from December to February, when the weather is warm and sunny, superb for enjoying the beaches and outdoor activities. During these months, you can expect long, bright days with average temperatures ranging from 20°C to 25°C. This period is ideal for swimming, sunbathing at Waiake Beach, kayaking in the sheltered bays, or exploring the coastal walks. The sea is also at its warmest, making water sports particularly enjoyable. Couples looking for a relaxing beach holiday will find this time perfect. The pleasant weather allows for romantic strolls along the shore, al fresco dining with sea views, and enjoying the natural beauty of the area without the chill of winter. Families will also appreciate the summer season as it offers the best conditions for children to play on the beaches and in the sea.

Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy.

Radisson RED Auckland

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location; beautiful decor in-keeping with the RED theme; brilliant front desk as well as restaurant staff. Would definitely recommend staying here!"

Nesuto St Martins Apartment Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I really enjoyed my stay at Nesuto St Martins Apartment Hotel. The location was great, with easy access to the city and nearby amenities. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and well equipped, making the stay very convenient. The price was also reasonable, especially considering the location and the facilities provided. Overall, it was a pleasant and hassle-free stay, and I would definitely consider staying here again."

Horizon by SkyCity

8/10 Good

"The hotel is attached to the NZICC, which is convenient for attending conventions/conferences. That's the best thing about the hotel. The rooms were nice but not outstanding in my opinion, they had all that was required, bath robes, slippers etc. My view from the 7th Floor looking out towards the harbour backed onto the TVNZ building with their Satellite dishes. The staff were friendly but that was about the extent of things. Breakfast in the morning at the grill, I was left to find my own table and had to call wait staff over to order a barista made coffee (which was not included in the buffet breakfast). A staff member could have shown me to a table (they were not busy when I had breakfast at 7am) and taken my coffee order. The buffet breakfast selection was okay. The cut up fresh fruit could have been better, half oranges, kiwi fruit and pineapple pieces, plus' a couple others but no fresh melon like other hotels in Auckland. The bacon on offer was a bit too "crispy" too. If you want a great buffet breakfast at an Auckland hotel I recommend the Cordis. The hallway outside my room didn't look like it had been vacuumed with bits of fluff, thread on the carpet but I did see staff vacuuming the carpet! I just think they need a more powerful vacuum cleaner. Overall I would stay again due to the convenience of the location to the NZICC but for luxury/leisure I believe Auckland has better options."
