Wellington , New Zealand

Vibrant, beautiful, trendy, culturally and architecturally significant, steeped in history – these are a few of the ways Wellington, New Zealand, has been described. ‘Compact’ would be another description of this city.

All Wellington accommodation is within easy reach of everything. The Wellington airport is just 8klms away. The seagoing port connecting the North to the South Island of New Zealand is adjacent to the CBD and Wellington travel is convenient.

EXPERIENCING WELLINGTON

Wellington is bounded by Mount Victoria and Port Nicholson and tucked in by a low mountainous range.

In the beautiful New Zealand landscape behind Wellington lie superb wineries and trekking and mountain bike trails. There also Rivendell, Isengard and Dunharrow came to life (from Lord of the Rings). A number of Wellington tour companies operate Lord of the Rings tours.

The city has earned the name ‘Windy City’ due to the windy Wellington weather coming in off the Cook Strait, the picturesque stretch of water running between the New Zealand North Island and South Island.

Some of the must-visit attractions include the Pataka Maori and Islander Centre, the Te Papa Tongarewa Museum and the unique Karori Wildlife Sanctuary.

When you’ve experienced Wellington, head off to enjoy the rest of your New Zealand tour.

Catch the inter island ferry – more like a vehicular cruise ship – to visit the breathtaking New Zealand mountain country through Tekapo and Mt Cook, down to Dunedin on the east coast and Milford Sound on the west, then up to Franz Josef Glacier. Or travel north to take a New Zealand cruise around the Bay of Islands.
