Wellington Holidays
Wellington is the capital of New Zealand and sits near the North Island’s southernmost point on the Cook Strait. Lonely Planet has described Wellington as the ‘coolest little capital in the world’. It encompasses a waterfront promenade, sandy beaches, a working harbour and colourful timber houses on surrounding hills. Wellington’s weather is sunny and mild most of the year, but strong winter winds through the Cook Strait give it the nickname "Windy Wellington."
Wellington is home to the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, the New Zealand Cricket Museum, the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra and the Royal New Zealand Ballet, as well as the original Treaty of Waitangi kept in the Constitution Room at Archives New Zealand. Visitors don’t have to go far from central Wellington for nature and wildlife experiences such as nearby Kapiti Island or Zealandia – a suburban sanctuary. Our Wellington accommodation options will give you the perfect base to explore the city’s many attractions.
