When is the best time to go to Mahina Bay?

The best time to go to Mahina Bay is during the summer months, from December to February, when the weather is warm and settled. During this period, you'll experience long, sunny days, great for enjoying the bay's outdoor activities. The average daily temperatures range from 20-25°C (68-77°F), making it comfortable for swimming, paddleboarding, or simply relaxing on the beach. The water is at its warmest then, which is ideal for those planning to spend time in the sea. Couples often find these months particularly appealing for a romantic getaway, as the pleasant evenings are great for dining al fresco with views of the bay. The extended daylight hours also mean more time to explore the coastal walkways and enjoy sunsets over the water. While summer is peak season, the shoulder months of November and March also offer good weather with fewer crowds.

Top Mahina Bay Hotel Reviews

DoubleTree by Hilton Wellington

10/10 Excellent

"This was our second stay at Doubletree in the past month. We love this hotel, which is incredibly welcoming, friendly, comfortable and convenient. The restaurant staff even recognised us and welcome us back! The parking is great, the welcome cookie delicious and the staff are very helpful and efficient. We’ll be back again soon!"

Gilmer Apartment Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This Hotel has limited parking, so you will need to rent a space across from the hotel. The hotel will arrange this for you. A five minute walk down the Plimer steps will get you to the main shopping district. From there you can take the cable car to the botanical garden or a bus to Mount Victoria. Or just walk to the waterfront. The room came with a combination washer/drier. If Wellington is a mid point for your travels, this is a very useful feature. They even provide soap powder. Wellington weather is changeable in the winter. So, dress in layers. The front desk closes early, so make sure you let the hotel know if you are going to be a late arrival."

Rydges Wellington

10/10 Excellent

"Our travel changed a the last minute and we ended up arriving early morning instead of mid afternoon- Gem (Jen?) was so lovely and helpful. All the front desk staff were great. Such a lovely hotel, would’ve liked to have stayed longer. Good facilities (although the spa wouldn’t get warm which was a shame so couldn’t use it - and was one of the main reasons I selected this hotel! But excellent experience overall."
