Pet hotel in Wellington

“For our stay it was amazing. Nice clean and tidy room, welcoming and helpful staff, great location to the CBD and events we were attending. I will note for the room we had the view wasn't the greatest, but we were there for the events not the view from the room.”

“Amazing Hotel to stay at. The bathroom area was fantastic. The bed was very spacious and extremely comfortable. Overall an excellent stay.”

“Great rooms great staff noisy location but that is out of hotels control. Nice and clean and easy parking, (i even was towing a digger and still had nice easy parking)! Nice and close to plenty of food places. we would stay again.”

“My always stay in Welly. Some rooms have been upgraded and are lovely others very tired but lovely and clean. Parking, bar and restaurant on site and a courtesy coach.”

“This was a lovely place to stay even though it is quite old. Bed was beautiful and staff were lovely. We didn't eat there but the location is good for other restaurants and places of interest. Would definitely stay again.”

“I always stay here! Affordable rates for such a great central location! The staff are friendly and the rooms are nice and clean. Comfy beds, nice bathrooms- everything you need. The Aborist restaurant is next door and serves nice kai.”

“Very cool place to stay. Great location. The staff are really helpful and friendly. If you're on a budget and need somewhere central in Wellington, look no further.”

“I used to skip this restaurant because of its low rating, but it completely surprised me — I was wrong! This is my second time trying their dim sum, and I felt compelled to write a review. The portions are generous with plenty of fillings, and everything tastes fresh and absolutely delicious. The salted egg yolk custard bun is a must-try, and the polo char siew bun were tasty. ( Sorry, the photos of the buns weren’t attached.)”

“Did a Saturday night shopping stay over. Recommend paying the extra for a harbour view. Just stunning. Great room and facilties. Staff were helpful. Location - can't do better than this. We used public transport.”

“Love this place! Super cheap and in a great location. The Grazies restaurant is really beautiful and the steak meal was beautiful. The only downfall would be the buffet breakfast which I got last time I stayed. The food was cooked great, but I was just expecting a little more variety, like scrambled eggs, breakfast sausages, mushrooms etc, like what you would normally see. Definitely recommend this place the staff are really lovely too.”

“My family and I just spent 3 nights here and had a lovely stay. The rooms are excellent and the staff at the dinning room are very thoughtful and caring. A special thanks to Inder who helped my wife and I set up dinning for two young children every morning. I would definitely stay here again.”

“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!”

“Oscar returned from his stay looking relaxed and was very vocal about his time at the Pet Villa on the drive home. It is such a lovely setting and I am sure he will be happy to return there if we are going away in the future. Loved the Facebook photo updates and appreciated them being accommodating when our flight was delayed.”

“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 :=)”

“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!”

“I had 4 of my cats stay at Hillcrest for 18 days. They loved it, when they came back you could tell they had been well looked after and brushed. Would highly recommend sending your fur babies here.”

“We had a wonderful time here. It's a beautiful building, well set out. The hosts were enthusiastically helpful and the free breakfast was generous. I appreciated the evidence of sustainable practice, including the basket of free-range eggs during breakfast. My bed was surprisingly comfortable. It's a unique venue and a delight to stay in, but Noah and the other staff were the real stars of the experience, truly exceptional!”

“Such a wonderful service that I have recommended to so many friends. So nice it’s not just feeding my cat they stay for 20mins to give her lots of pats and play with her… a bit of human contact while I’m away. And the photos with a daily update is such a lovely touch. I always know my kitty is in good hands. Thank you so much for providing this lovely caring service.”

“Nicola looked after our Lorikeet Lowri for 6 weeks, while we were overseas. Nicola looked after Lowri with kindness and interest, as well as a very professional approach. Nicola kept us in regular touch with how our pet was getting on, and put a lot of extra effort into making sure she was comfortable, had the right food and had opportunities to exercise and get some stimulation. We were delighted with the care our bird received and would certainly recommend Nicola and Creature Comforts Sanson to any bird owner.”

“Top notch venue, done very well. Very professional and friendly staff. Delicious fare.”

“Four Small Paws has given an excellent service for both of my cavoodles. The staff are very friendly and helpful. They have taken notice of each dogs personality and given me feed back regarding how they have got on each day.”

“Our 1 year old Rottie, Klaus, stayed here a while back and made friends with a German shepherd who was next to him. We were hesitant as Klais is our big fur baby but he was happy and well looked after.”

“What a wonderful place to stay in Wellington. We stayed here for two nights and were extremely satisfied. The welcome was warm, and the owners were very friendly. The room had a private bathroom down the hall and a personal fridge in another room. All facilities were adequately provided. The owner joins you for breakfast in the morning, which always led to enjoyable conversations. The B&B also has a fantastic view of the bay; you're right by the water. We parked our car on the street near the B&B for two nights, which was safe and, of course, cost nothing. To get to Wellington Center, you'll need an Uber or taxi.”

“Stayed twice for work and will definitely recommend. They’ve added Nespresso machines in the rooms since the last time I stayed which is great for coffee lovers. The beds are so comfortable! In general- great find!”

“I was really nervous to send my doggie back to daycare after some bad experiences at other places that have had lasting (probably lifetime) consequences. My pup has some anxieties, fears and isn’t always confident in life which sometimes translates to misunderstood reactivity. Paw Palace took extra time and effort to understand my worries, walk me through their days and process. They also never once had any judgement about his past or his breed. They have clearly given him so much love and support because he absolutely loves it there, always rushes in without hesitation and is never too exhausted when he gets home. I’ve only had reports of him being a good boy, that he’s really come out of his shell and with no behavioural issues! I’ve noticed a huge improvement in his socialising, he is reading other dogs much more appropriately and is super responsive with his recall! We’ve even been able to go back to off-lead areas again and he’s warming up to strangers more quickly too. Thank you again for all your hard work, I’m really proud of how far he has come and the dog he’s grown up to be :)”

“Excellent staff and affordable pricing, good communication and usually able to get appointments promptly. The staff at Carevets Kilbirnie showed such kindness and compassion when I had to make the decision to put my cat down, and made a really difficult time a lot easier. Highly recommend.”

“Have had excellent service here. Always take the time to give context to recommendations and work within what is practical solutions-wise. Everyone is really personable and very good with my elderly cat. Would absolutely recommend.”

“Our stay at Sofitel Wellington was absolutely wonderful. The hotel itself is beautiful, with a welcoming and elegant atmosphere. The staff were exceptionally friendly and went out of their way to make our stay as comfortable as possible. They were full of local knowledge and pointed us toward some fantastic nearby attractions, which really enhanced our visit. The location was perfect — close to plenty of activities and great places to explore, all within easy walking distance. We also thoroughly enjoyed both dinner and breakfast at the hotel; the food was outstanding and truly one of the highlights of our stay. Overall, we had such a memorable experience at Sofitel Wellington. Thank you to the entire team for your warm hospitality and exceptional service — we can’t wait to return!”
