Hotels near Wellington Airport - WLG, Wellington

Wellington is an interesting city, it's small and compact and most things are within a walkable distance. The cafes and restaurants are excellent. New Zealand is now generally a very expensive place to travel in and the prices in Wellington reflect that. As the country is one of the best food producers in the world, it's a pity the food and drink costs here are so high. Seems out of balance to me.

There are some great museums. The cable car and botanic gardens are a must see and if you have a car, it is well worth driving around the bays and to the various lookouts - the views are fantastic. The war memorial is worth a visit. The Parliament is also worth visiting but book a tour (free) to make the most of it.

A nice city with lots to do, many restaurants, cafes, etc. a great cable car experience to the top of the city - the Carter Obaervatory and Planetarium was a real treat as was rhe Zealandia Sanctuary!

I love staying in the CBD and being able to walk to everything. Take the 3 hour sightseeing bus, it is well worth the $89 even if you have been to Wellington before and a definite must for first timers. There is so much else to do in Wellington that makes it a great city to visit !

My stay was beautiful from beginning to end with spectacular wellington harbour sea views and the city lights at night, luxury accommodation and great hosts. It WAS aptly named "The perfect stopover" and somewhere i would hope to return in future.

Loved how much Wellington has to offer. We would do much more in the short time we were there. I would recommend staying more than two days, which was the length of my stay. Plan the things you most want to see and try new things. Kisa restaurant (Middle Eastern on Cuba Street) is amazing if you like this type of food. It was recommended to us, and it is delicious.) Plan trips and restaurants. So many to choose from so rather than confuse yourself with which ones, make a list, sort out the top of what you want to try and then those you miss this trip, let them be on your next.
