“I belong to the gym and love it . I go 5 days,a week from 4pn to 6pm and sometimes go for a swim on Sunday,afternoon”

“We were privileged to have stayed at two accommodations of experience Rarotonga. Pacific Breeze Serenity and beach house. Both houses were beautiful and spacious. Handy to everything. I have finally found houses that I will be returning too next year. Thank you”

“John from Just Cabins Porirua was an absolute pleasure to deal with. From the first enquiry through to delivery, everything was smooth and hassle-free. He was professional, responsive, and went the extra mile to make sure we got exactly what we needed. The cabin itself was clean, well-maintained, and perfect for our needs. Highly recommend if you’re looking for extra space without the stress!”

“Excellent 360° view of Wellington and its surrounds. Make sure you pack wind breaker as it definitely is exposed at the top.”

“Amazing views pretty much every time I go here.”

“Very noice. Quiet, well kept island. Short, easy walks all around the island. Worth a visit.”

“The detour approaching Jacob’s Ladder bridge was muddy 4/10/2023 in places. The descent was slippery but not very challenging. Families with young kids navigated easily.”

“Over the years, I’ve tried many gyms, but this one stands out as the best. I really enjoy the 30 minute lunchtime classes - they keep me fit and motivate me to turn up and keep going. The trainers make the sessions both challenging and enjoyable. Highly recommend the classes if you are looking for a bit of motivation or a solid workout! The gym is not overcrowded so you don’t have to wait to use machines like at other gyms which is also great!”

“National museum of New Zealand that hold a big native collection, 3 floors with a lot of history, and for me, the most impressive is the war one, with it's people representing what they were doing in a big scale, that you can view the details of the figures. Worth to take a look and visit it! :)”

“Well worth a visit. Lots of birds, great informative signage, beautiful bush. Good place to visit if you don't have time to do any bush walking - gives you a great taste of it! Also, the Cafe is excellent! Great coffee and really lovely food”

“A nice walkway next to the wharf that provides nice views of the harbor, and leads to a nice happening area with various restaurants, bars, and high end shops. The walk is flat and easy so can be managed by anyone with basic fitness, however it’s windy in general and in a windy day it gets slightly challenging to walk. The walk from the parking lot at this location to the shops is 1.6 KM / 1 mile. Walking from the parking lot to the other end will take at least 30 minutes with plenty of stops around monuments on the way.”

“I visited the Mount Victoria Lookout, which sits at the highest point in Wellington, and the experience was truly breathtaking. From one side, you get a stunning view of the endless sea, and from the other, the entire Wellington city opens up beautifully beneath you. You can even watch planes landing and taking off at the airport—it’s a mesmerizing sight from that height. The lookout also features photos showing how Wellington has evolved from the early 1900s to today, which adds a lovely historical touch to the visit. Overall, it’s one of the finest places to explore with family, offering unforgettable views and a calming atmosphere.”

“Top views of Wellington and surrounding areas. Great place to start a walk.”

“Fantastic walk up to the old gun positions for lunch. The walk back around the beach takes a bit longer but is worth it. Rocky bottom beaches but the water is very refreshing after the climb. Those of moderate fitness can complete this walk but should take their time as the initial climb is quite steep. Ring ots on water and on sunny days a hat and sunscreen! There is no shade to be found. Highly recommend for a fun day out.”

“I recently visited the beach, and it was an amazing experience. The walk along the shore with my dog and kids was absolutely perfect—plenty of space to roam and explore. The views were breathtaking, with the expansive ocean stretching out in front of us. If you're lucky, you might even spot some seals lounging nearby, which was a real highlight of the day. A perfect spot for a family outing, with nature at its finest!”

“The very best point to get views of Oriental Bay and beyond. The "convent" is undergoing renovation and on weekdays parking at this spot might be problematic.”

“OMG what a beautiful place... such a great vibe here.... Fab views....Great walks & very good for dog walkers too..”

“Only 4WD vehicles can be driven on the rough road. It is not joke, seriously. We have seen 7 seals in different spots. They are very lazy and cute.”

“Great place to throw a ball for your pups, have a decent walk off-lead with hills and interesting places to sniff, always fun.”

“Lovely easy walk on eastern side of Wellington. Harbour view, ferry crossing and city & airport view on the other side. Easy to moderate hike. Pet friendly.”

“Beautiful spot and a lot of work going into its restoration. A gentle 3km walk - after a 500 m climb.”

“We've been coming here weekly for about 7 months. The teachers are so patient , kind and engaging. We have mostly had Tegan and shes wonderful.My 3 year old has been happy and learning so much! The water is lovely and warm, definitely helps the kids enjoyment and willing to participate. I've done lessons at a public pool that was always freezing (think babies with blue lips) but Fulton is basically like swimming in a warm bath. Well worth the cost. We do lessons on a Wednesday and it's also super quiet.”

“Nice place to go for a walk. Go during sunny days. Long walk to reach the dam. So make sure to have water with you. Lovely lake with ducks.”

“Such a long trail and have to climb up the mountain to reach the upper lighthouse of pencarrow. Lots of awesome trails with views of the beach, mountains and green landscape. Biking is the most recommended option so as to cover a lot of stuff around and enjoy all the views from the top.”

“You can’t beat Plimmerton on a good day. Classic safe, suburban sandy beach. Karehana Bay is best, though a decent walk from the ice creams and fish and chips. Toilets and chafing rooms at the Boating Club entrance. Check out the new cafe at the club!”

“Good for those who loves walking, hiking. It was first time for me with friend. It was good. My suggestion to do Johnsonville to Karori.”

“Such a big play area ..skate park as well .. specially after school..if kids wanted to play more ..water tap and toilets very handy”

“= Kelburn is the upper station for the Cable Car. . This is access to the Cable Car Museum, Botanical Gardens. = Salamanca is half-way. = Lambton Quay is the lower station. . Access from the city level.”

“The instructors are well trained and really good with the children. I would highly recommend the individual classes at the early stages. At least until your child is swimming lengths.”
