A few days in Upper Hutt

60s/70s style motel but well maintained, clean and very comfortable. Very pleasant and helpful owner/operators. Handy for our main objectives in Wellington but nice river walks.

Quiet location.

Great value for money, we stayed for the weekend and travelled into Wellington on the train from the local station ( 2 mins away). Great golf courses nearby also, we will definitely be back.
