Clean and tidy facilities and amazing hospitality. Staff were friendly, helpful and easily contactable for anything. Loved the little touches in the communal spaces (sofa areas) with fresh fruit which made them inviting . Also rate the laundry amenities which were free of charge - didn’t feel like a bother to the staff at all. Will definitely recommend and return if ever back in the area but will look for a room with a terrace/outdoor area. Great onsite parking too

Access to laundry was locked off which was slightly inconvenient as we needed to wash sports uniform for a tournament. We needed to wait for staff to be onsite and give us access for us to use. We do, however, appreciate the free laundry facilities and ability to use washing basket and clothes horse in our room.

Loved the 2 bedroom apartment for when we were staying there while moving homes - it had everything we needed and it was a real home away from home! Loved the little courtyard “private garden” with tables and chairs as well.

The beds were a bit too soft so woke up with some aches from lack of support. Including a pair of scissors in the utensils drawer would have been good for opening food pouches. A little bit pricey but in the end I realised it was worth it, as the staff cleaned the apartment every day and it was always immaculate when we got in every evening.

This was our forth time staying at Ava Lodge and we'll definitely go back. The rooms are always beautiful, clean and very tidy. There's parking on site and the building is very quiet. With cafes and restaurants just round the corner it's in a great location not far out of central Wellington. We've stayed both as a couple and with a family and the rooms are well set out. Would highly recommend.

We were just here for one night before catching the Interislander ferry. We would stay here again as it was very comfortable with great kitchen facilities, sofa and spacious room. I would say that normally, it is in a quiet area but it was hard to tell as we were there on Guy Fawkes night!

Nothing we didn't like though be aware there is no lift, so if you have any trouble with stairs, request a ground floor room.

Excellent instructions on gaining access to room after hours. Room was very clean and serviced daily. Great to see that they recycle and also glass bottle for the milk in the fridge. Easy parking around the back and super close (walking distance) to pretty much every cuisine you can think of down Jackson Street. This is my new favorite place to stay when we visit here.

Spacious, comfortable and well equipped 2 bdm unit in a quiet location. Very close to good public transport into Wellington. Petone has lots of good cafes and restaurants and some good craft beer options too, all within easy walking distance.

Unusual not to have smart TV available these days. Also not fond of the over-scented cleaning products used in the building

I loved the facilities that were available in the room. The great use of space and the lovely little deck outside that was actually accessible and I could sit out there and have a hot cuppa in the morning. Also heaps of parking that was fantastic. And last but not least the deep huge SPA bath, that was fantastic! Also a huge shower with great pressure to, again fantastic use of space guys.

The comfortability of the bed, however in saying that I have just had a huge spinal surgery 5 months ago, so its not hard for me to become uncomfortable quickly, but I did end up quite stiff upon the 2nd to last night of our stay.

The staff were so friendly and easy going. Stayed an extra night last minute and they helped with that really fast. The place was cleaned and comfortable. Plenty of parking.

Nothing to complain about.

We had all the appliances that we needed. Oven, cooktop, dishwasher & fridge. There were electric blankets which came in handy one cold night of the 3 that we were there! The insulation in the property was really good as we did not hear any noise from any other adjoining units. Very warm and clean!

The only thing that would have made it better would be to have a separate toilet! Other than that everything was great!

Rooms were so tidy, so happy with our stay. We loved that it had everything we needed, location is amazing. Short walk to the township centre, close to food, amenities and the Harbour views. Having parking on site too made our stay so much more enjoyable and gave us peace of mind. Overall 10/10 stay, definitely will be staying again if we find ourselves in lower hutt 💕
