When is the best time to go to Days Bay?

The best time to go to Days Bay is during the warmer months, specifically from late spring through early autumn (November to April), when the weather is most pleasant for enjoying the outdoors. During this period, you'll experience longer daylight hours and generally settled weather, making it ideal for coastal activities. The sea temperatures are also at their warmest, great for swimming, paddleboarding, or kayaking in the bay. This is particularly appealing for families looking to make the most of the beach and water sports. Couples often find the shoulder seasons of November/December and March/April particularly appealing. The weather is still lovely, but there are fewer crowds, allowing for a more relaxed experience when exploring the walking trails, enjoying waterfront dining, or taking the ferry across to Wellington city.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

If free cancellation is available, you can cancel directly through your Expedia account by logging in, going to "My Trips", and selecting your reservation.

How much is the nightly rate at a Days Bay hotel?

Top Days Bay Hotel Reviews

Rydges Wellington

8/10 Good

"This is an ok hotel. But don't advertise parking then say no we don't have any and we cldnt accommodate a ute anyway. We booked here as they advertised parking. Also fix the power sockets so they don't hang out of the wall and most modern hotels have USB plugs. This hotel doesn't."

James Cook Hotel Grand Chancellor

10/10 Excellent

"Unfortunate but still gotta pay for parking. Set cost per night, tight parks but town is town 😅 Barr that, we had a great time. Would definitely book again through Expedia. Saved some cash, enjoyed the breakfast. Good selection for food, and staff were happy to help and refill where needed."

Bolton Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I enjoyed the well appointed room, it had everything a business traveler might need. I appreciated how quiet the room was, super comfy bed and good water pressure in the shower. Lovely staff, very friendly and helpful. Decent hotel gym, and it was good to have an informal cafe downstairs and a fancier restaurant upstairs. Thank you for a very pleasant if too brief stay."

Copthorne Hotel Wellington Oriental Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Easy to get in and out. Super close to New World and city centre for food. Restaurant on site was over priced and the tap beer wasn't great. TV channels had major interference with weather so couldn't watch TV. Bit disappointing. Shower must be set on a temp as I had it as hot as it would go and it wasn't hot enough. All in all, great stay."
