Wellington Region

Wellington is the capital of New Zealand. Come and discover the magic it has to offer by visiting the many attractions including the Zoo, Museum of New Zealand (Te Papa) and be sure to check out the Cable Car and parliament buildings.

Wellington City

For a more memorable trip to Wellington, jump aboard the East by West Ferry which departs from Wellington and travels across the harbour to Days Bay and Eastbourne. The eastern bays are a series of upmarket seaside villages with great cafes, restaurants, galleries and walkways. You could even stop en route at Matiu/Somes Island in the centre of the Harbour.

In Wairarapa, there are quaint townships to discover, vast rural areas to explore and world-class vineyards which welcome visitors to taste and purchase their wines.

Wellington Waterfront is a public recreation destination in the capital of New Zealand. Here you can spend time in Wellington visiting a museum, learning about our history, eating in our waterfront restaurants, attending events or having fun in a park.

Contact a Hutt Valley i-SITE Visitor Centre to book a tour of the Lord of the Rings locations in the region, the sights of Wellington City, or a wine trail in the Wairarapa.

The Hutt Valley also borders Porirua City which makes up the Wellington region.
