When is the best time to go to Awatoto?

The best time to visit Awatoto is during the summer months, from December to February, when the weather is warm and sunny, superb for enjoying the region's outdoor activities. During this period, you can expect long, bright days with average temperatures ranging from 20°C to 25°C. This makes it ideal for exploring the local beaches, such as those along the Awatoto coastline, or enjoying the many walking and cycling trails in the Hawke's Bay region. It's also prime season for wine tasting at the nearby vineyards, as many offer outdoor seating and events. For those who prefer slightly milder temperatures and fewer crowds, the shoulder seasons of spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) are also excellent choices. You'll still experience pleasant weather, with average temperatures between 15°C and 20°C, making it comfortable for sightseeing and outdoor pursuits without the peak summer rush.

Top Awatoto Hotel Reviews

Scenic Hotel Te Pania

8/10 Good

"Clean hotel with a great location, staff very helpful. Breakfast is shocking one of the worst breakfasts that i have had at this level of hotel."

Art Deco Masonic Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Nous voulions beaucoup voir cet hôtel reconnu pour ses caractéristiques Art Deco et nous avons adoré y séjourner. Le lieu et les nombreux objets d’époque sont bien conservés. L’accueil a été parfait. Le seule bémol serait le repas au resto KKitchen & Bar: le fish & chips était fait avec du poisson décongelé, alors que le menu indiquait du poisson frais."

Marineland Motel

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed for 3 nights and it was fantastic. Highly recommened rooms were spotless and simple and perfect for our needs! The locale to the beach is by far the best we could have asked for! Having an indoor pool to use at our leisure was amazing. The staff were great to talk to and really friendly. Easy to book in and leave 100% recommend A++ loved it thank you!"
