WELLINGTON HOTELS

Wellington is perfectly situated on the southern tip of New Zealand’s North Island; a central location ideal for a capitol city – and so it is. Postcard-perfect, but without the obvious attractions that entice travellers to the country’s other destinations; the city is a model for achieving a laid-back atmosphere in a tightly packed urban centre. And it has a few tricks up its sleeve. This is the breeding ground for film industry blockbusters. This is the king of sundown shenanigans; when the lights go out in the office, the night comes to life in the cinemas, theatres, and watering holes of Te Aro. This is also, and maybe most importantly, the place where you can get a glimpse of hip, modern New Zealand.
