Wild and Wonderful Welly

Acclaimed for its thriving art, film and cultural scene, windy ‘Welly’ is enclosed by mountains such as Kaukau and Victoria on one side and the picturesque Wellington Harbour on the other. Wellington has the distinction of being the world’s southernmost capital city.

As the gateway to New Zealand’s magical south island, Queens Wharf is headquarters for ferry services across Cook Strait as well as in the direction of Eastbourne on the other side of the harbour.

Get your bearings by using the Kelburn cable car that starts at Lambton Quay and travels up to the Botanic Gardens and Carter Observatory with its sweeping views across the Miramar Peninsula and local bays.

Don’t miss a visit to New Zealand’s national museum, Te Papa, which also incorporates the National Art Gallery. Cuba Street offers a multicultural touch and includes the Wellington Night Market with an array of international cuisines. Ascot Street is a lively shopping precinct.

Wellington Airport has flights to other domestic destinations as well as Australia and Fiji. Booking.com can help you choose your hotel to round off a fantastic city trip vacation.

    We stayed at the Apollo which was an easy walk into town.

    We stayed at the Apollo which was an easy walk into town. Buses to areas out of the city seemed pretty regular. Wellington is a pretty switched on city, with a creative energy and plenty of things to enjoy. Cuba St which is pedestrians only has plenty of cafes and restaurants and the food is top notch. Our favourites for dinner were Loretta’s, Olive, Mr Go’s. Icecream and Creaming sodas at Duck Island, coffees at Pickle and Pie, Cheese Scones beautiful pastries and coffee at Myrtle’s. Some good clothing shops, also recycling shops where there was really good clothing for sale at low prices, good bookstores. A must visit is Te Papa Museum - Level 4 Māori and Pacific Island history is impressive. The museum’s shop is also worth checking out. The lobby of QT Hotel (there’s a golden hippo on the hotel’s exterior) - you don’t need to be a guest to wander in to view the lobby area which includes a magnificent private art collection and a ritzy bar. Plenty of bars with music and Sunday Farmers Market on the waterfront was bustling with plenty of fruit and vegetables along with brunch food and coffee available.

    Fun vibrant city easy access to all attractions by foot around the central city, easy bus trip to local beaches or walking distance in the main city area. Airport within 10 min drive to central city. Local parks easy drive or walk or bus. If staying in the city great shopping and local restaurants are easy to access. Local pools are on hand and only a small trip via car or bus. Local supermarkets are handy and have everything you require. Great local pubs and bars for a night out on the town all within walking distance to you accommodation if staying in town. Loads to do in Wellington like visiting the Bee hive, cable car, Te papa, local markets, local gardens, and much much more. Loads of free stuff to do also (we visited the Marvel event being held in wellington). Wellington is the place to visit for a weekend away with friends, short holiday with the kids you won’t be disappointed. Do your research before you go and plan your trip as there is so much to see. Have fun and enjoy Wellington.

    Bus rides and train rides are awesome, just get yourself a Snapper card and more than one person can travel with that one card. Only one person can travel on that card on trains. Travelling in bus was also good, no hassle to driving or parking, bus service are almost everywhere till late nights and safe environments.

    We thought Wellington was a beautiful City.

    We thought Wellington was a beautiful City. We were there in late March. The weather was lovely and cool, just the right temperature if you like to explore a new location on foot. The bus system in the City is brilliant. The Metlink public transport card system can be a little intimidating but once you master it, it works exceptionally well. Otherwise, you can pay cash when travelling on the buses or trains, but it is quite significantly more expensive to pay this way. Also, it pays to check out the fare before you travel and have the correct money when getting on because nearly everyone uses the prepaid Metlink card so the driver has limited change. The seafood in New Zealand is the best in the world in my opinion. If you are staying centrally and have cooking facilities, I would recommend the Seafood Market in Lambton Quay or Cuba Street. It is not a huge shop but the fish comes in daily. Their fish and chips are pretty good as well. But there are plenty of seafood restaurants around that serve great food. Wellington is a a gorgeous city and reminded me very much of San Francisco.

    The hotel is well located for access to the Wellington CBD - with cuba street, the michael fowler centre and te papa all within easy walking distance. The staff were all pleasant and helpful and we were able to store our luggage prior to check in. The room was well appointed with two bedrooms, fully equipped bathroom and ensuite. The lounge was a good size and the furniture there comfortable; the balcony off the lounge overlooked the adjoining church. The kitchen was reasonably well equipped with a nice tea selection. The room was quiet.

    I think this hotel is Wellington' best kept secret for central city for budget travellers, rooms had all facilities with tv, fridge , tea and coffee making jug, and bed was comfortable, room was light and airy - ok a little traffic noise in the morning but to be expected in central city. The staff warm and friendly, the inclusive fully cooked breakfast was excellent, and highly commend the young Thai man in the restaurant was friendly, efficient and helpful. Central location and easy walk to downtown shopping and waterfront attractions.
