Gut, günstig, toller Service. - Good, cheap, great service.

"Gut gelegen, sehr ruhig auch nachts, kostenfreie Möglichkeit zum Waschen und exzellentes freundliches Personal. Es hätte wohl nicht gegeben, wo man uns nicht bei behilflich gewesen wäre. Dazu alles sauber, es wird täglich der Abwasch erledigt usw. also Preis-Leistung lässt keine Wünsche offen. Es gibt nichts was uns nicht gefallen hat.
Well located, very quiet even at night, free washing and excellent friendly staff. There probably wouldn't have been anywhere we weren't helped. Everything was clean, the dishes done every day, etc. so value for money leaves nothing to be desired. There is nothing we did not like.

This was our forth time staying at Ava Lodge and we'll definitely go back.

"The rooms are always beautiful, clean and very tidy. There's parking on site and the building is very quiet. With cafes and restaurants just round the corner it's in a great location not far out of central Wellington. We've stayed both as a couple and with a family and the rooms are well set out. Would highly recommend.

Would highly recommend this lovely motel for short or longer stay. Has everything you need for a very comfortable stay.

"Very modern, exceptionally clean and contemporary design features. The location was great as we were using it to be close to the Inter islander ferry. Lots of local places to eat within walking distance. The receptionist was very helpful and we had a very comfortable nights sleep."

Ticked all the boxes

"Ticked all the boxes for us. Sought quiet, comfortable accommodation close to Wellington CBD & delivered perfectly. Clean, modern, tasteful decor & excellent parking. An excellent preliminary to our WOW experience at TSB Arena. Would happily stay again"

Definitely recommend staying here!

"Super clean, quality stay. We couldn't believe how clean our accommodation was kept over the five days we stayed! The appliances and furnishings were all in great condition too - on top of an excellent location!
Meeting Shadrach, a self-assured Birman cat and the Lodge's 'Customer Relations Manager', was an unexpected bonus. Definitely recommend staying here!"

Close to Jackson Street

"The property weas close to Jackson Street where you will find lots of delicious food - try 'Rata's Kitchen' - It is exceptional! The motel has off-street parking and laundry facilities on site that are included in your rates. The layout was very nice and we had a patio!"

Great Stay

"Another great stay at Ava Lodge. Super clean and quiet. Handy to main shopping area of Petone and waterfront. Bus stop practically outside the door and ample on site parking available."

Fabulously Five Stars

"Absolutely top notch! There is nothing that needs improvement here. Everything from the basics of cleanliness, comfortableness, and quietness is fulfilled. All appears very new and totally functional. The receptionist Christina is wonderful! There is lots of parking with numerous restaurants nearby. My room had a kitchenette, small balcony, and a very functional layout. You won't find better at (almost) any cost! I wish I could have stayed longer than 4 days!"

Location is amazing

"Rooms were so tidy, so happy with out stay. We loved that it had everything we needed, location is amazing. Short walk to the township centre, close to food amenities and the Harbour views. Having parking on site too made our stay so much more enjoyable and give us peace of mind. Overall 10/10 stay, definitely will be staying again if we find ourselves in lower hutt."

Great little place with parking

"Love this place so clean and comfy. Stayed for one night only. Lots of real nice little finishing touches, I’m 7 months pregnant and the bath had a cute little tub of bath salts! Bonus!! Bed was large and super comfy. My partner loved the coffee machine! Great location and was quiet. Would love to stay again - Thankyou!"

Wonderful accommodations

"Wonderful accommodations, being 2 bedroom roomy apartments, with roomy bathroom, clean, crisp, everything you need, great bed, plus picturesque Japanese influenced nooks, garden & outdoor areas, clean, quiet and modern.

Fresh and modern but exuding warmth with the architectural exterior and interior. Excellent security, all mod con access and a great vibe. This motel is not at all generic, but I would think rather unique, and I highly recommend."
