Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Clean & spacious. Lazy boy chairs are a nice touch. Staff very friendly & quick check in. Bed a tad on the firm side but still comfortable enough. Good pressure shower. Nicer than some high priced accommodation I’ve stayed at. Found it to be quite quiet even though it’s on the Esplanade . Would recommend this Motel.
N/A
The rooms were well appointed and spacious, plus very clean. Parking and access were very good. This is a particularly friendly option for families and we loved that the portacot was fitted with sheets and a Winnie the Pooh quilt - what a nice surprise!
Our room unfortunately was not turned down as advertised during our stay. This would have made the stay exceptional.
Everything the room was big and well set out the bed was big and very comfortable plus the shower was awesome was my third stay there and definitely won’t be my last 😊😊
Nothing everything was a 10+👍👍
Location and the spaciousness of the unit - the spa bath!
Very friendly, helpful staff. Room was very clean and had a gorgeous view. Plenty of off street parking available
Bed could do with an extra blanket as was a bit chilly and heat pump was noisy to run. There is road noise but they provide complimentary ear plugs which was a nice touch
Location, staff, recycling, big tv, sky sport, curtains, clean, lots of toiletries and tea coffee etc, extra bedding, warm,
Large bed was hard. We slept on the 2 single beds which were perfect. There was 1 pan. Needed at least another pot. Need options for complimentary milk.
Sea view, very clean, courteous staff
Needs some art to make it feel less sterile. TCM tv rather than a few SKy or Prime access
The room was spacious clean
What can I say the two ladies on reception are the best very very friendly and genuinely welcoming the room was excellent it was very clean and had everything you would need for a stay the location is very good with the beach right across the road and a 2 minute drive from the Main Street I would highly recommend BK’s motel to anyone looking for an awesome experience and I will be back so to the staff of BK’s thank you so much for an awesome stay.👍
Leaving my wife and I wanted to stay longer
nice comfy recliner chairs in room

Loved my stay at BK's. My second time staying there and will be the only place I stay when visiting Wellington now.
I was meet at check in, the receptionist was out standing very friendly and most helpful with my requests. The room was very clean and had every thing we need for a memorable stay, location was excellent just maybe 10 minutes from Wellington,
nothing really
Comfort, clean and location
Staff were friendly, room was claean and bed was comfortable
N/A
Staff were so lovely at check in. Room was far superior to what I was expecting. And even though we were only there two nights, house keeping came and did dishes and replaced everything.
Honestly the bed was slightly to hard for me but my daughter loved it
Front desk lady was lovely and very accommodating
Some of the other people who were staying were quite loud and it felt like the walls were very thin

Location, comfortable and the receptionist was amazing and very helpful!
Such comfortable rooms - really enjoyed the view across the water. The double glazing did an amazing job of blocking out the noise of the traffic going past. We enjoyed the lazy boy chairs and it was a very comfortable bed with nice linen. The heat pump did a great job of heating the room up on a cold winter evening. Staff were very positive and friendly too!!
The shower could have been just a little hotter, otherwise we had a great stay.
Great location just across the road from the beach. Beautiful view of the city lights. Accessible by swipe card only when staff not on front desk making it safe for solo travellers. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Clean and
With the views you get the traffic noise. Not a complaint though - they accommodate this beautifully by providing earplugs for sleeping which you dont need in any case, but thoughtful nonetheless!
Friendly and very helpful staff who offered to assist with the luggage etc.
Awesome views down the Wellington Harbour
Lovely and clean handy to Jackson st cafes bars etc. very pleasant helpful staff
All good
Everything you could need, and close to all the shops and pubs in Petone.
Location is great, right opposite the foreshore and a short walk to the shops and cafes on Jackson Street. The motel was quiet even next to a busy main street Loved the spa bath, sea view and handy Kitchenette. Reception staff were very friendly and informative.
The cleaner did walk into the room without knocking before we had checked out in the morning.
Excellent location, 5 minute walk to Jackson Street for Restaurants & shopping. Great view overlooking the sea & esplanade & lights of Wellington, 2 minute walk over to the foreshore & lovely walk in either direction. Would recommend.
Our favourite place to.stay, everything is great . We will definately be back
Liked it all
Everything! Great location to check out what Petone has to offer and great alternative to staying the CBD of Wellington. Comfortable rooms. Great water view.
Very clean and really friendly. Spa bath rooms were worth the extra money

The view and peace
I liked it all
Location by sea was fantastic
Walking up stairs
Internet and smart tv were average
Having access to a Kitchen in the room which allows me to cook meals in the room without having to eat out everynight. A place to relax in front of the T.V. Close to the Main road so commuting was easy
The sliding door to the carpark was unlocked on arrival. If I hadnt of needed to use it I wouldnt of known it was unlocked.
Friendly staff and location
Everything was straight forward and easy.
Tiles are a bit slippery.
Greeted by friendly staff. Very tidy room.
Very excellent service
Staff were so friendly and helpful. Rooms were comfortable. Short walk into town.
Was quite overpowered by a perfume type smell. But there was probably a reason.
Comfort, opposite the beach, room view across the harbour, nice wee outdoor area off our room
Nothing
Staff were great. Short walk to restaurants.
Very clean and comfortable
I've been using BK's as my go to accomadation when in Wellington for over 10yrs...Great location out of the main city but only 15min commute...right beside the beach a for the summer evenings....close to restaurants and shops
The reception lady was lovely and staff very friendly.
Located on Petone esplanade, our room had lovely Wellington Harbour views.. wasy walk to town center and restaurant. Room was clean and tidy.
Not having a place in the bathroom to put your change of clothes, toliet seat not ideal.

Comfortable and had lazyboys for relaxing
Nothing
Really good location, modern motel, ideal for ferry stopover. Friendly efficient staff
We were in New Zealand to meet my new baby grandson and the property was perfectly situated for the commute to my daughter’s house only 5 min drive. There are great shops and restaurants within walking distance and the beach is just across the road.
Nothing. Although the road noise did not bother me because the view from balcony is amazing, some people might think about a room on the inside of property.
Great location on the Waterfront. Close to everything we wanted.
Nil
Spacious room and sea views
Everything was awesome
Excellent location close to amazing hospitality options and a short drive to the ferry terminals.
The sea front facing rooms overlook a busy carriageway which can be noisy during peak traffic times.
The staff were awesome. The position was very good. The room was very very clean. Enjoyed staying there.
There wasn’t a thing we didn’t like
