Water park in Wellington

“Great foresight to have these around”

“Awesome! Ideal for retreating and having quality time with friends and family. Been here on an early autumn weekend and was lovely. Photography enthusiasts can experiment with the colours of the leaves, and also the Hutt River flowing nearby.”

“Clean and well maintained public toilet.”

“There's a cute fountain and lots of seating”

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

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

“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.”

“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 scenery, public toilets that get locked in evening but one open all night. We had a peaceful evening. Restaurant at the carpark. Only one night for freedom campers they do come check.”

“Has hot showers and free gas-fired barbecues, well maintained facilities for low pp cost per night. Beautiful native bush surroundings and stunning freshwater stream. Excellent walking trails nearby and superb NZ native forests to explore.”

“Great place, so easy to clip multiple kids on and trust they’re fine until the next wall. Dominique was phenomenal; so personable, helpful and knowledgeable.”

“Great walk. Came in off Hine Rd, up to McKerrow, onto Roubd ridge, back through Camp Wainui, up Bruce's track to repeater and back to car. Well marked, easy to navigate.”

“Been here for many years with my Tamariki . Finally a toilet and water fountain installed after many years also. Large bike,scooter track. Basketball hoop and play area.”

“Not been here before, lovely staff, enjoyed meal, n coffee”

“Great spot with plenty for kids and families-Junglerama, Jumperama, Cyberpunk, Clip ’n Climb, and the arcade. It’s not the cheapest day out, but it definitely wears the kids out and creates some great memories. The café food is pretty average, but fine for a quick drink and some hot chips.”

“Had a kids party here. Easy to arrange, and the kids loved it. Food and service was good and the play area was great. Only negative would be how cramped the seating area is”

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

“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.”

“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”

“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! :)”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”
