U Studios Paraparaumu, SureStay Collection by Best Western

Set along the picturesque Kapiti Coast, Paraparaumu is framed by the dramatic silhouette of Kapiti Island rising from the Tasman Sea. The island’s shifting outline and thriving native bird sanctuary create one of New Zealand’s most remarkable conservation stories. Early morning walks along the beach, with the island on the horizon, are among the quiet pleasures the Wellington region offers. U Studios Paraparaumu, SureStay Collection by Best Western, places you just steps from this tranquil shoreline. Simple, well-designed, self-contained rooms put you within easy reach of Paraparaumu’s top restaurants and the lively seaside entertainment area. Whether you’re an independent traveller, a couple, or a small family, you’ll find the perfect beachside retreat here. Wellington is less than an hour away by road or train, and the Kapiti Coast links nearby towns like Paekakariki, Waikanae, and Otaki for effortless day trips. For a true encounter with nature, join a Kapiti Island reserve tour from Paraparaumu Beach and walk among reintroduced kiwi, kokako, and saddleback. Let the rhythm of the island and the Tasman Sea guide your stay.
