Hotels near Wellington Airport - WLG, Wellington

We used Uber for all our inner city trips, it was so easy to get around. The 3 hour bus tour of the city was a highlight, the guide Hamish was excellent. We ate dinner at Grazie Italiano at Double Tree By Hilton, it was superb, food, service, the whole nine yards. Te Papa was good but The Gallipoli exhibit was closed as was the cable car both of which we would have loved to visit.

Our Capital city is a vibrant and fascinating city. Love the restaurant/cafe/bar life - what a buzz. And all within walking distance of most hotels. Ate at Ortega - wonderful fish on menu - and friendly efficient staff. Excellent evening. Actually we are not young - my husband is 5 months away from hitting 80 and I'm a year behind him. We are however, young at heart.

There are lots of great sites such as the Museum within a relatively confined space. Good public transport is available. There are lots of good restaurants and cafes. In summer, the beaches and coastal areas are lovely and very accessible. Its worth visiting other suburbs such as the Hutt Valley, Porirua, Kapiti Coast and Wairarapa, also with good museums, beaches, eateries.

I was catching up with friends and family so that was my focus on this trip. Wellington does have brilliant cafes, restaurants and attractions such as the Cable Car, Te Papa, Mt Victoria lookout etc. Parking in the city is expensive so look into parking apps as they can save you lots of money. The Wakefield Market on a Sunday is worth going to but parking can be challenging if you go later in the day.

Love the breeze and fresh air windy at times but I love the cold weather Recommend the August eat for breakfast and brunch, very nice food is great, a lot of wood quality restaurants and bars nearby. There is a tepapa museum, market on the Sunday very cheap to get your veges and fruits and a lot of food stalls to enjoy.

truly vibrant beautiful culturally rich city. Stay in the central area, excellent public transport. Walk to all the sights. The I office great support, Te Papa, National Library, parliament buildings, the wonderful fashion, bookshops (old and new) waterfront magic!! lots of choices in the restaurants, smells from the food make you hungry. Pubs very grand, like the theatres. Has to be one of the most beautiful, cleanest, safest cities in the world. Everything in close proximity! Check out shops and street music in Cuba St!
