Where to eat and stay in Lower Hutt
103 cafés, restaurants, bars, hotels and motels in Lower Hutt, Wellington — compiled from open data and public registers. Free to search, and no venue pays to appear.
We hold 103 venues in Lower Hutt — 87 places to eat and 16 to stay. That makes it the 2nd-largest of the 111 towns and suburbs we cover in Wellington, carrying 6% of the region's venues. Nationally it sits 20th out of 1,482 places.
Of the places to eat, 25% are cafés against a national figure of 28%. That is close to the New Zealand norm — Lower Hutt eats roughly the way the country does. The full split is 22 cafés, 29 restaurants, 31 takeaways, 1 bars and 4 pubs.
54 of the 87 eating places carry a cuisine tag. The most common are indian (8), coffee shop (8) and burger (6). Relative to the rest of the country Lower Hutt is unusually strong on chicken, coffee shop and indian — those appear here at a higher rate than the national average.
On the practical detail: 18 publish opening hours (17%), 10 are recorded as step-free, 3 have outdoor seating and 5 flag vegetarian options. That is about the national average of 23%.
For a bed, Lower Hutt runs to 16 listings — 2 hotels, 11 motels, 1 serviced apartments and 2 holiday parks and campgrounds. Motels dominate, at 69% of the town's accommodation.
Places of a similar size — Kaikōura (104), Wānaka (96), Mount Maunganui (95) and New Lynn (93) — average 32% accommodation. Lower Hutt runs at 16%, noticeably less, so it feeds locals more than it beds travellers.
All of this is derived from open data rather than collected from listings sites: OpenStreetMap for the venues, public registers for verification. 1 of the 103 venues in Lower Hutt carry at least six recorded attributes and so have a page of their own; the rest are listed here, because a page with only a name and a map pin on it would be worth nobody's time. A blank field means unrecorded, not absent. Nothing here is scraped from a commercial directory, no venue has paid to appear, and we publish no ratings or reviews of our own.
