When is the best time to go to Long Bay?

The best time to go to Long Bay is during the summer months, from December to February, when the weather is warm and sunny, ideal for beach activities. During this period, you can expect average temperatures ranging from 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F), with long daylight hours. This makes it superb for swimming, paddleboarding, and enjoying the Long Bay Regional Park. Families will find this time particularly suitable, as the calm waters and expansive sandy beach offer plenty of space for children to play and for picnics. The shoulder seasons, particularly March to May (autumn) and September to November (spring), also offer pleasant conditions with fewer crowds. Temperatures are milder, ranging from 15°C to 20°C (59°F to 68°F), which is excellent for hiking the coastal trails in the regional park or exploring the local area.

Top Long Bay Hotel Reviews

Cordis, Auckland by Langham Hospitality Group

10/10 Excellent

"Check in was easy and efficient - staff were helpful. Room was clean and spacious with everything we needed. Love that there are toiletries ie. Hand wash , lotion , body and hair wash and conditioner so you don’t need to bring and quality of products are such that you actually want to use them. Spa pool was lovely and warm and fellow patrons were respectful of others including children being mindful of others. Facilities are easily accessible although now Chuan spa and pool area requires key card access. Gym is well equipped but lacked products or enough - to wipe down equipment after use - unless I missed them this time. I have stayed before and wipes were available then. Restaurant staff were friendly and choice of breakfast items at Eight restaurant is AMAZING. Car valet parking was a breeze and check out efficient. Only issue was phone in the room did not appear to work for when we wanted to notify valet parking that we would be checking out so needed to let concierge know when we checked out about bringing our car - which did not take long but we needed to wait for this. Highly recommend staying at the Cordis."

The Parnell Hotel & Conference Centre

8/10 Good

"Well located and so easy to get to off the motorway. Rooms are dated but comfortable. Could do with more kitchen accessories to make cooking easier. No oven, microwave doesn’t really do the trick. Parking is ample but the sloping service does make it a bit hard to get in and out of the car. Rooms don’t have much sound proofing."
