About Wellington

Wellington is the perfect place to stay a bit longer; there is always something more to do. Besides visiting the Te Papa Museum, Government Buildings and riding the Cable Car up to the Botanical Gardens, it‘s also enjoyable to stroll along the waterfront, follow some scenic footpaths to places like Mt Victoria, and enjoy lots of free entertainment.

at our backpackers hostel in Wellington, we welcome guests from all walks of life. There is plenty of space for different interests; relaxing, meeting up with fellow travellers and much more. Socialising is easily done in our great common area.

We have a large collection of videos and books for your enjoyment and we can hire others at your request. Have a look at our notice boards for activities that we organise such as rock climbing, karting, bowling or surfing.

Wellington is the capital of New Zealand, the country's second largest urban area and the most populous national capital in Oceania.

Our compact city center embraces the arts scene, café culture and nightlife better than any city of a similar size. We have roughly the same urban area population as Canberra, Flint or Michigan.

Our city is situated at the southwestern tip of the North Island on the Cook Strait, the passage that separates the North and South Islands of New Zealand.

On a clear day, the snowcapped Kaikoura Ranges are visible at the tip of the South Island. To the north, the golden beaches of the Kapiti Coast stretch before you, almost hypnotically willing you to kick off your shoes and let the sands run through your feet as you enjoy the beauty of nature.

To the east, the Rimutaka Ranges divide Wellington from the broad plains of the Wairarapa, a region rich in winery history—perhaps a trail could be on the cards?

Wellington Arts and Culture

Wellington is the Arts and Cultural capital of New Zealand. Dubbed ‘Wellywood’ thanks mainly to the efforts of Peter Jackson and Richard Taylor's epic Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Along with Jackson and Taylor, other notable silver screen maestro's also originate from New Zealand's harbour capital.

Artists such as Vincent Ward [River Queen, What Dreams May Come, Map of the Human Heart], and Jane Campion [The Piano, An Angel At My Table, The Portrait of a Lady] also lay a claim to contributing to Wellington's rampant movie scene.

However, not just a hub for the silver screen, Wellington is an enormous stage, where live theatre and entertainment become a potpourri of sound, sight, and yes, even taste.

Home to many events such as the World of Wearable Arts Show, The International Arts Festival, and the Food Festival, Wellington is truly a city layer upon layer rich in diversity, arts and culture.
