Where to eat and stay in Porirua
54 cafés, restaurants, bars, hotels and motels in Porirua, Wellington — compiled from open data and public registers. Free to search, and no venue pays to appear.
We hold 54 venues in Porirua — 47 places to eat and 7 to stay. That makes it the 4th-largest of the 111 towns and suburbs we cover in Wellington, carrying 3% of the region's venues.
Of the places to eat, 32% are cafés against a national figure of 28%. Porirua is 4 points more café-heavy than the country as a whole, which usually points to daytime and weekend trade rather than an evening dining scene. The full split is 15 cafés, 8 restaurants, 22 takeaways, 1 bars and 1 pubs.
33 of the 47 eating places carry a cuisine tag. The most common are indian (5), burger (4) and coffee shop (4). Relative to the rest of the country Porirua is unusually strong on indian, coffee shop and burger — those appear here at a higher rate than the national average.
On the practical detail: 14 publish opening hours (26%), 1 are recorded as step-free and 1 flag vegetarian options. That is about the national average of 23%.
For a bed, Porirua runs to 7 listings — 1 hotels, 4 motels and 2 holiday parks and campgrounds. Motels dominate, at 57% of the town's accommodation.
Places of a similar size — Blenheim (54), Picton (54), Little Oneroa (54) and Manurewa (55) — average 32% accommodation. Porirua runs at 13%, 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. 3 of the 54 venues in Porirua 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.
