How Far Are We From the Wellington Ferry?
Wellington's Kiwi Holiday Park is located in Upper Hutt, with access to central Wellington and the ferry terminals via State Highway 2.
Travel times can vary depending on traffic, the time of day and your ferry terminal, so we recommend allowing plenty of time when travelling to check-in for your sailing.
Staying in Upper Hutt can be especially convenient for travellers approaching Wellington from the north, the Wairarapa or other parts of the lower North Island who would rather enjoy a peaceful overnight stay before heading into the city.
Before Your Interislander or Bluebridge Sailing
If you're staying with us before catching the ferry, it's a good idea to check your operator's current check-in requirements and allow extra travel time for Wellington traffic.
An overnight stay can make the journey much less rushed, particularly when travelling with children, towing a caravan or driving a campervan or motorhome.
After a good night's rest, you can head toward Wellington knowing you've already taken care of accommodation, parking and your overnight stop.
Arriving in Wellington After Your Ferry Crossing?
Wellington's Kiwi Holiday Park is also a useful place to stay after arriving from the South Island.
Instead of beginning a long drive immediately after leaving the ferry, you can travel to Upper Hutt, settle into your motel, cabin or camping site and continue your journey refreshed the following day.
This can be especially useful for families, campervan travellers and anyone continuing north through the lower North Island.
