Working In New Zealand Special Offer

Relocating to Wellington? Enjoy Exclusive Hotel Rates Just for Working In Clients

Sojourn Hotels welcomes Working In clients with flexible stays, quiet comfort, fast Wi-Fi and convenience — right in the CBD.

Relocation is exciting—but let’s be honest—it’s also overwhelming.
New streets, new systems, new everything.

In times of uncertainty, people don’t just need a place to sleep.
They need a place to feel safe, regain control and belong.

Whether you're relocating, here for business, or settling in for a new start - Sojourn Apartment Hotels deliver the comfort, independence and calm you need—right from day one.

The Right First Step Can Change Everything

Where you stay in your first days or weeks shapes how quickly you settle into your new life. And when everything else is unfamiliar, your accommodation shouldn’t be.

Sojourn Apartment Hotels offer award-winning, short-stay accommodation in the heart of Wellington, purposefully designed specifically for people in transition - whether relocating, starting a new job, or settling into a new chapter of life.

With two highly rated locations - Sojourn Riddiford (opposite Wellington Hospital) and Sojourn Ghuznee (in the CBD) - we provide the perfect base for individuals and families needing flexible, premium short-term accommodation close to hospitals, government agencies, universities and business hubs.

We’ve hosted relocating professionals, hospital staff, government workers and families from around the world.
What they all have in common: the need for independence and support, comfort and convenience.

  • A space that’s yours, but help when you need it
  • Quiet, comfort and consistency
  • A smooth, stress-free experience from the moment you check in

So we built our hotels around those needs.

  • ✔️ Modern, self-contained apartments

  • ✔️ Full kitchen, washer/dryer and work desk

  • ✔️ Luxury bedding and stylish, functional interiors

  • ✔️ Housekeeping, reception support and flexible booking terms

  • ✔️ Flexible booking terms, no lease required

The Best of Both Worlds

Unlike traditional hotels or private rentals, Sojourn gives you:

  • The privacy and flexibility of a home

  • The cleanliness and consistency of a hotel

  • The warmth and reassurance of a team that gets it

No hidden fees. No lease. No surprises. Just a soft landing.

Sojourn Riddiford

Wonderful. Only a few weeks old so VERY clean and fresh. Lovely bed and having a kitchenette was great too. Wonderful staff who helped me move a room when there was a glitch with my TV. Right across from Wellington hospital so very handy while my husband was in overnight.  Joanne G - Wellington -

Sojourn Riddiford

Comfortable quality stay. Spotlessly clean and modern facilities. Very comfortable and good quality furnishings. Staff lovely and nothing too difficult.  Gayle R - Hawkes Bay -

Sojourn Riddiford

Lovely to have the Nespresso machine in the room. However, would have liked some instructions. Luckily my daughter demonstrated for me when she picked me up. Loved the shower dome. Cut all condensation and no need for a noisy extractor running with the light. I was happy that I couldn't hear any sirens or helicopter noise in the room. Will definitely stay again.  Janet H - Bay of Plenty -

Sojourn Riddiford

Perfect in all aspects. Location directly over the Road from the hospital and beside Ronald McDonald House. You can enjoy the down-home vibe of cosmopolitan Newton with its myriad of cafes, bars and restaurants. Well equipped kitchen, Room is quite spacious.
