Absolutely Positively Wellington












New Zealand Hotel and Apartment Accommodation + Wellington

Wellington is the Capital of New Zealand and is situated at the southern end of the North Island. Access to the city is via the Cook Strait ferries from the south, through the State Highway One through Petone and the Kapiti Coast on the West Coast or through State Highway Two through Masterton and the Wairarapa.

Wellington HarbourBased around a large harbor with hills close to the waters edge, the main settlement has been in the valleys to the north, Lower Hutt and Upper Hutt, and to the west in the valleys of Johnsonville, Tawa and Porirua. The main commercial centre is based around Lampton Quay with Government Departments and Embassies close to the port. Excellent motorways and electric commuter train system make moving around the Wellington very easy.

Attractions of the center of Wellington city is the exhilarating cable car ride from the small alley in the middle of commercial center in Lampton Quay to the botanical gardens high above the city or taking in the views from Mount Victoria. Also of significant interest is New Zealand’s National museum Te Papa which has many modern interactive displays as well as traditional displays. and close by is the National Library with its extensive collection of early colonial pictures and records often used genealogy and other research.

Renowned for its blustery weather as the area is exposed to the Southerly Gales across Cook Strait. Flying into Rongatai, Wellington’s International Airport, can be a experience with both Air New Zealand and Qantas pilots displaying considerable skill on turbulent approaches! The small airline Soundsair also flies from Wellington to Marlborough and to the Tasman-Nelson provinces on a regular basis.

The BeehiveThe Parliamentary building, “The Beehive”, is at the end of Lampton Quay close to the railway station, and its common to see the members of Parliament walking around the streets with the public. There is no truth to the story that Wellington’s windy conditions are caused by the hot air expelled by the politicians when Parliament is in session.

With something like seven fault lines running through the region, minor earthquakes are not unknown but strict building codes prevent damage.

Both the InterIsland, and Lynx ferries operate from the ferry terminal, with the slower InterIsland Car/Rail ferry taking about four hours to cross Cook Strait. The Lynx which is a car / campavan carrying catamarans cover the distance in less than two hours with shuttle buses transporting people to the railway stations to connect with either the Picton-Christchurch Pacific Explorer or the Northerner from Wellington to Auckland.
