Kidcation Package

Family travel made simple. Kid-friendly stays with grown-up perks.

Family escapes should be fun for the kids and easy for the adults.

Our Kidcation Package takes care of both, with extra value and family-friendly inclusions designed to make your Wellington stay a little more relaxed from the moment you arrive.

Kids under 12 stay and eat free with every paying adult, while adults can start the day with complimentary breakfast. Little travellers will also receive a welcome activity pack on arrival, with kid-approved dining options available at the hotel restaurant and through room service.

When it is time to slow things down, make the most of a midday checkout, subject to availability, and enjoy a little extra time together before heading home.

Located in the heart of Wellington, James Cook Hotel Grand Chancellor puts the family within easy reach of Lambton Quay, the Wellington Cable Car, the waterfront, Te Papa and many of the capital’s most popular family attractions.

Pack the bags, bring the kids and make your next Wellington city break one the whole family can enjoy.
