Wellington Airport sits on a narrow spit at Rongotai, wedged between the eastern suburbs and the harbour, which means your accommodation choice really comes down to how much you value proximity over the wider appeal of the capital. Airport Stays and Rydges Wellington Airport are both a short walk from the terminal, making them the obvious pick if you've got an early flight, a late arrival, or you're simply not in the mood to think about transfers after a long journey. There's no pretending these are destinations in themselves — you're paying for convenience, not character.
The other real option is staying in central Wellington itself. It's further out, but the capital's compact waterfront, restaurants and museums make it worth the trade-off if your flight times allow a proper transfer rather than a dash to the gate. Given Wellington's notorious wind and hilly terrain, factor in a little extra buffer for getting to and from the airport regardless of where you base yourself.
