If Wellington had a spirit animal, The Intrepid would be it: stylish, a little eccentric, and with a bar that could make you cancel your dinner plans. The Puffin is not just a hotel bar; it’s a destination. Think low-lit sophistication with cocktails so good they will keep you coming back for more. And more. And more. There was a slight hiccup with my room, but the staff handled it so swiftly and charmingly that I half suspect they rehearse these moments for sport. The result? An upgrade, which is always the kind of apology I can get behind. The location? Perfect. You can practically roll out the front door and land in one of Cuba Street’s many bars or restaurants (though you may find yourself lured back by The Puffin’s gravitational pull). If I’m being picky, the carpets look like they’ve seen better days—but that’s a minor quibble in an otherwise stellar experience. Would I recommend it? Absolutely. Book a stay, sip something decadent at The Puffin, and remind yourself why Wellington does boutique better than anyone else.

Pros: Good location. Clean. Helpful staff. Daily complimentary coffee, tea, snacks. Daily chocolate delivered to room. Cons: Property a bit dated. Dark decor not for everyone’s taste. No safe in the room. Any cons, though, were offset by the friendliness and willingness of the staff and the services provided by the hotel. Overall, a quiet and comfortable stay in a good location.

If boutique bliss had a capital, it would be The Intrepid. Nestled right in the beating heart of Cuba Street, this hotel is an absolute knockout—effortlessly cool, yet warm and inviting. The rooms? Impeccably designed, whisper-quiet, and so comfortable you’ll consider moving in. The Puffin, the hotel’s bar, is a masterclass in atmosphere—expertly mixed cocktails, a killer wine list, and that perfect “just one more” vibe. And the location? You’re slap-bang in the middle of Wellington’s most vibrant strip, surrounded by great food, street art, and endless character. Stay here once, and you’ll never want to stay anywhere else.
