Was very happy with Shepherds Arms. Location is excellent, with a short walk downhill to the Parliament building, waterfront, etc. or uphill to the botanical gardens and cable car. Neighborhood is quite charming as well, with lots of shops and attractive houses on Tinakor Road. The room itself was medium-sized as rooms in NZ go, and the bed didn't give... More

we only stayed one night, the room is comfortable and clean. small decent bathroom wi-fi by time and in general nice with a decent pub downstairs the parking maybe a problem because the spots are limited and on the street it's usually crowded.

A little gem of a place, just the way New Zealand pubs used to be, with rooms above the bar. But this one has big rooms,en-suites, and even on a Saturday night there was no conflict between the two uses. Staff were genuinely friendly and helpful, and despite the existence of a restaurant downstairs, the room had milk,cereals and fruit,and... More

Nice older style pub with accommodation. I stayed in very spacious room with large en-suite in an annex type building. Usual tea and coffee were supplemented by breakfast cereals and fruit, a nice touch. Hotel fronts onto Tinakori Road but the area is restricted to 30kph so although there is some road noise it is not disturbing. Hotel is located... More

Stayed at this lovely hotel for two nights, the staff were very friendly and helpful. We had booked the room with the four poster bed which was a delight! Plenty of room to spread out with the bonus of a lovely big couch! The area is nice and quiet with cafes and restaurants close by - great sleep! Close enough... More

The room was large, the bed very comfortable and as we had a back room ,it was very quiet. Only 10 minutes walk to Lambton Quay, and good shopping and cafes close by. We didn't expect... More

We stayed her for 5 days whilst in Wellington and found the Shepherds Arms 10 minutes walk away from town and absolutely ideal. Tinakori Road is a small village with many antique shops and several good restaurants should you not want to dine in the arms itself....though food as we had was very good and generous in portion size. Rooms... More

One of Wellington's many pleasant surprises. In the style of old English pubs, the Shepherds Arms has a formidable menu and brews it's own beer. And like those old pubs, their accommodation is cheap, clean, simple and upstairs. Not all of the rooms have wifi or room service, but the beds are comfortable and good for a visitor looking to...
