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.

Rydges Auckland

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly and helpful staff, clean and comfortable rooms, and nice selections for breakfast! The hotel is conveniently located a couple blocks from the new convention center, and a couple more blocks from shopping on Queen Street. In particular, the shower heated up quickly and helped warm me up on the cool winter Auckland mornings."

Holiday Inn Express Auckland City Centre by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were extremely helpful, we arrived early and were able to check in and access our room straight away. Our room was clean and well set out. Beds were comfortable. We were celebrating our anniversary and were left a handwritten card and a selection of sweet treats. This was much appreciated. The breakfast was a pleasant surprise- a great selection of hot and cold food, tea coffee juice etc. We would definitely recommend to others and would stay again."

Nesuto St Martins Apartment Hotel

8/10 Good

"For a central city apartment at that price it was very good. The room decor was a little more sterile than what was shown on line but again for the price it was acceptable. The staff were all very pleasant to deal with and understanding and respectful of my situation. Gladly stay there again."

Four Points by Sheraton Auckland

10/10 Excellent

"This is a great place to stay when in Auckland. I couldn’t fault it - we really enjoyed our stay. The rooms are modern, clean & comfy. Hot shower & wifi - no issues. Also no noise from other guests or from the traffic. Every member of staff that we encountered were friendly; happy & very helpful."
