Wellington / Te Whanganui a Tara

Located in the absolute centre of New Zealand, Wellington is the heart of the country. Not just a capital city but the capital of culture, cafes, and cuisine. A compact accessible city with natural beauty and a vibrant urban lifestyle.

Wellington, New Zealand's capital city has something for everyone. Located on the edge of a beautiful harbour and surrounded by hills, it's a city you will want to spend time discovering, and its charms will draw you back time and time again. No two days are the same on Wellington harbour - and the saying "four seasons in one day" is certainly true for this stunning destination.

Clinging to the hills precariously perched wooden houses all compete for glimpses of the spectacular harbour view, while locals and visitors alike stroll round the waterfront. The cafe scene bustles, the boutique shops beckon and in the evening you can tap your foot to the sound of live music in one of the many bars. Home to Parliament, the capital attracts people from all walks of life and has developed into a vibrant and dynamic city with a thriving creative community.

Transfer time from the airport to the city centre is just fifteen minutes.
