The Dwellington

4.8(463 reviews)

About

The Dwellington, on North Island, is a hostel at 8 Halswell Street, Thorndon, Wellington 6011. First-time visitors should expect shared accommodation in a central city setting rather than a resort. A 4.8 out of 5 average across 463 reviews indicates how consistently guests have rated their stays.

Wellington anchors the southern end of the North Island, and Auckland, Rotorua, Taupo, Hamilton, Tauranga, Napier and New Plymouth sit further up the island along the main routes. Thorndon places the hostel close to the capital's centre, which makes arriving by road or rail straightforward.

New Zealand weather is changeable, and the surrounding ocean keeps both summer heat and winter frost moderate, so layers work well in the capital. Tūī, kererū and other native birds are common, and dolphins, fur seals and seabirds are seen around the coast.

Rugby union is followed closely nationwide, and the national team plays in black. The North Island has a volcanic plateau with hot springs and geysers, while the Southern Alps run down the South Island.
