Hospitals in Wellington

“We just spent a couple of hours in Lower Hutt A & E. For a place where you are dealing with people in pain, I cannot speak highly enough about the service we received from the nurses and the doctor. Especially Nurse Jaynie. She did her best to distract my mum and keep her mind off the pain and it was very greatly appreciated. Please know that you are all doing an exceptional job. Thank you heaps”

“My wife came in from Palmerston North with kidney issues, and within 20 minutes she was looked at and given a room. All the nurses and doctors have been helpful and supportive. I will happily recommend the Wairapapa Hospital!”

“My 16 months daughter admitted to ED with continuous seizures and amazing nurses doctors and all staff at hutt hospital ED & ICU did everything in their power to save her. The quick decisions they made during the process saved my daughter without any injury internally. I have no words to say thank you for this amazing team. They are the best team. Thank you”

“Nurses and Drs there are nice and kind. Well, we can’t complain about long waiting time as it’s free health care in NZ.”

“We went to Bistro 52 for dinner. This is the hospitality school training restaurant. They had a 4 course degustation menu for $50. Great food and outstanding service. Would definitely recommend it. Top tip is that too find it you have to go inside the building and take lift to the third floor.”

“Fantastic service and animal service and welfare. Helpful and friendly staff makes a stress free environment and pleasing to animals of all descriptions. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend”

“Cool showroom, awesome live cook demo”

“When my 9 month old Huntaway needed surgery, I realised Massey wouldn't be cheap, but surprisingly it wasn't as expensive as I thought and I discovered they are the best, great people, great support and great result.”

“The Eye Clinic has an amazing team. I've been coming here for almost 18months off and on and my needs have been taken care of with respect. The nurses are upbeat and have a good sense of humour. Parking can be hard to find at times. But with a bit of patience, you soon find one near the entrance. Thank you Dr Hutchins and team.”

“Fully informed of products I had required post surgical procedure. The timing of in between 2 different eye drops prescribed 4 times a day for 4 weeks and another which was ongoing.”

“Clever people doing amazing things in Wellington. Such an inspiration!”

“Great hostel - stayed 3-4 times- easy check-in, friendly and helpful staff - good contact and communication. the facilities were clean and love the solid bunks with curtains - my first choice when in Whanganui-a-Tara! Tino pai!”

“I had a really wonderful Ayurvedic facial, I felt my tensions from working outside and being overseas melt away and left with a deep feeling of nourishment and release. I fully recommend this for beauty and alignment to self.”

“I had the pleasure of dining at this wonderful restaurant, and I must say, it was a delightful experience from start to finish. The restaurant boasts a tantalizing array of authentic Arabic kababs and a diverse selection of other mouthwatering dishes that truly transport your taste buds to the heart of the Middle East. The highlight of the meal was undoubtedly the kababs; they were perfectly seasoned and the meat was grilled to perfection, offering a blend of flavors and tenderness that was simply exceptional. Each bite was a journey through the rich culinary traditions of the region, leaving me craving more. What truly sets this restaurant apart, however, is not just the delectable food but also the impeccable service and the warm, friendly atmosphere. The staff is attentive, knowledgeable, and eager to make your dining experience memorable. They are more than willing to offer recommendations and provide insights into the menu, making even newcomers feel right at home.”

“On Monday 22 September 2025, the team at the Animal Medical Centre worked for over 3 hours to remove LFC - liquid filling concrete - from the paws and other places of my cat Morgan La Fay. When Morgan got home and had recovered from sedation, she was completely back to normal. How Morgan came to walk through LFC is a long story which I will not recount. I do need to say 2 things, though, to make clear what a miracle the team achieved. The first is that, by the time I got her to the vet on Monday afternoon, the LFC had been on her paws and other places for 24 hours. She sounded like a ballet dancer en pointe when she walked around and kept hitting her ear with her back paw when trying to scratch it. The second is that Morgan is a cat with a very definite list of "nots" - do not walk towards me, do not pick me up, do not put me in a cage, do not leave me with strangers, do not touch my paws ... and on it goes. I knew she would have to be in a crush cage and I knew that even crush cages have their limits. The AMC team got all the hard-baked concrete off Morgan and left her with no ill-effects. That truly was a magnificent piece of work. I cannot speak highly enough of their ingenuity, patience, dedication, and veterinary knowledge and I am deeply grateful to them all. Thank you again to everyone who helped.”

“Everyone at Kelburn Vets have been fantastic and have taken great care of my 2 young cats, who have made a neighbourhood enemy resulting in infected cat bites (one particularly bad). The team always get us seen really quickly and were able to perform 2 surgeries as soon as they were needed. I’m very grateful for such fantastic service and support.”

“An absolutely wonderful place for your bestie...my boy has been for daycare and an overnight stay. He always comes back home so relaxed, happy and clearly incredibly well looked after and cared for...Lovely facilities and amazing staff. I am so grateful to not worry about my boy when he is with you.. Thank you so very much for all you do for us and our precious ones :=)”

“EXCELLENT. I wish we had one where I live. The baked goods are very high quality.”

“This was the nicest hotel from our holiday in NZ. From the moment we stepped in the door, service was excellent. Having a laundry machine in the room was a huge bonus to refresh our suitcase. Location was wonderful; we only walked a few minutes to get anywhere. Highly recommended hotel in Wellington!”

“Have been with Pet Doctor Thorndon for six years. My cat Hansel has been well looked after by the professional team. Especially recently with the preparation for his exporting permit, the team at Pet Doctor Thorndon has made a complicated process being handled much more easier and smoother. This has been a great relief for me. Highly recommend this wonderful clinic to all furry friends’ families in Wellington.”

“They are the best and most caring veterinarians we have ever had. Thank you for looking after us!”

“Highly recommend staying at Sojourn Apartment Hotel Riddiford. We were very impressed with the amenities, location, cleanliness and friendliness of all the staff that we dealt with during our stay. We stayed in the Petite Double internal room, and this particular Petite Double has a table and chairs set which was great for getting some remote work done on the trip. The room was very well equipped with everything we needed and the Nespresso machine was definitely one of my favourite features. The internal room was very quiet, and the location was perfect, right opposite Wellington Hospital, with a bus stop right outside making for easy access around the city. We would definitely love to stay again.”

“Our room was very fresh and clean. The location is great! Easy walk to the waterfront, TePapa Museum, Red Cable Car, botanical gardens and lots of restaurants, bars, eateries and coffee shops. It was a perfect location for our 2 nights in Wellington. The front office staff were also friendly and helpful. They ordered a car service to help us get to the ferry on our departing morning.”
