Located within a 10-minute drive from Wellington CBD where you will find shopping, entertainment and other activities, Bella Vista Motel Wellington offers 4-star accommodation with free private parking. Wellington Airport is just a 9-minute drive from the property.

Communication prior to arrival was very good, and our special requests were perfectly fulfilled. The reception by the lovely host was fabulous, and throughout our stay all the staff, including the cleaners, were helpful, kind, pleasant and easy to deal with. The room was on the small side, but it was quiet and had all the important things, like proper heating and all the necessary kitchen utensils. The cleanliness was exceptional! The bathroom was fab, with a spacious shower, a heated towel rail and additional heating! WiFi was great, and there was great parking free of charge, very important in Wellington. We really enjoyed our time there, and I can highly recommend this place!

Looking for a motel?

Both travellers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving. The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help to make check-in quick and easy.

    We visited the area last January during summer and found it to be in the central city. It's convenient as everything, especially restaurants, is nearby. The bathroom is reasonably equipped for the price paid, and a hairdryer is available. Friendly receptionist. There is free parking inside the motel.

    The unit was spacious and clean. It had everything we needed for our 2 night stay. It was great to find a motel with free parking outside our unit. The car was parked up for the weekend as the location is super central to everything. Definitely will stay again
