"This might be the prettiest place I ever stayed at. The scenery is spectacular. The hotel is just perfect. It's a beautiful country-house with exceptional food and the service is great. A++. I strongly recommend this. We did the horse and ATV tour and it's a must do. Fly into Wellington and rent a car to see the beautiful scenery on the 2 hr drive. I would love to return."

"The room was ideal and a good size for a family of 4. We didn’t realise that the only parking available was in the main street of Kilbirnie where it is located. It was a bit noisey at night from the extractor fans from the bar’s kitchen below right outside our window. Apart from that, it all went smoothly. Thanks"

Houghton Bay Hotel Reviews

5/5 Excellent

My home away from home

"This is my regular hotel when I stay in Wellington. The location is excellent for my needs; so simple to get into town on foot. It’s comfortable and clean, with excellent, flavourful and hearty food with plenty of vegetarian and vegan options. Where this hotel really shines is in the quality of its staff. Without exception, every person I met on this stay was polite, professional and sparkling with warmth and charm. Special mention of the beautiful lady who manages the breakfasts, and also the team on the front desk. Always a lovely stay, but this trip was particularly pleasant. Thank you all, and I’ll see you again."

5/5 Excellent

"we booked this hotel after having to relocate from another hotel in the middle of the night (at the last minute). We were very pleasantly surprised - the location is very close to everything, so extremely walkable. We were very happy to have an interior room due to all of the noise in the city centre as it was Cuba Dupa weekend (we don’t know if it would’ve been noisy in the exterior rooms. But we were very appreciative to have a quiet room). we ate in the on site restaurant for breakfast on one day - it was competitively priced versus other breakfast/brunch locations. we would recommend others to stay here. If you are using the on-site parking facilities, we recommend having a smaller car rather than an SUV or pick up!"
