If you love the arts, your adventures won't be complete without dropping in at Dowse Art Museum. Take a sketch pad along with you and unleash your inner Van Gogh!

This collection of precious artworks is free to visit, so you can have an enjoyable day out without reaching for your wallet. However, Dowse Art Museum isn't the only place to visit in or around the leafy city of Lower Hutt. With Maori Treasures, Matiu - Somes Island and Queensgate Shopping Centre nearby, you may be tempted to extend your stay.

Great hotel, comfortable and clean with excelkent service. As a solo traveller I did not feel as safe in the area in the evening as I did elsewhere in NZ, but that is out of the hotels control. I would highly recommend the hotel.

Great location for a weekend away. A bit quieter than the central city but so close. Great cafes nearby and New World 4 min walk away. Was lovely to walk along the waterfront and great people watching from the apartment as well. Apartment is suoer clean and modern. Guessing a recent rennovation as everything felt new. Was perfeft for us.
