Water park in Wellington

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

“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.”

“= 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 garden featured a stunning display of healthy, blooming roses in a variety of vibrant colours. There was a charming little fountain, some friendly ducks waddling about :) and a lovely greenhouse to explore. It was the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy a peaceful moment in nature.”

“Such a pleasant place. Not a long walk to the waterfalls. Only 15 min each way.”

“We took our two mokopuna to Adrenaline Forest today. The eldest has been a couple of times and was confident after his briefing to get started. The younger was less so but certainly gave it his best. They both succeeded and had a great time. My thanks to the staff who supported my mokos in particular but were attentive to all. Clear safety instructions showing exactly how to use the equipment; and just the right encouragement when one of my boys got stuck. A reminder of the basics and gentle but firm guidance from the ground. All the reassurance that was needed and our moko carried on again. No doubt the boys will be back and their koro and I will be happy to accompany them. Ngā mihi ki a koutou...”

“Well-maintain track with wide walkway. A little bit uphill but good for morning walk. We enjoy the voew of wellington city and also see the top of southern alps from the top of track. Make sure you bring enough water for walk! **thus track are join with red rock coastal walk, just walk down the hill approximately 5 km.”

“Excellent walking trail in Hutt region. We took Fire break. O boy, it was steep one and for sure it test your fitness. When you reach the top, that's the reward "breathtaking" view. Walking down is another challenge. Need a good shoe grip and we need to be careful as it is steep with loose rock.”

“Looked after our school group really well. They were awesome, very professional and fun, and the kids (and staff who joined in) loved it. Would definitely come back.”

“The Island Bay Marine Education Centre, also known as "The Bait House", is an interactive marine experience based in Island Bay on Wellington's south coast. As well as there being lots of different sea creatures on display (including a couple of octupuses, sea horses, crayfish, turtles, a grumpy blue cod to name a few) you can also handle starfish, sea cucumbers, sea anemones, crabs and other sea life found un the touch pools. There is far more inside than you would expect from the outside and the volunteers whi wirk there are very friendly and helpful. It is really reasonably priced ($5 for adults, $2 per child) and we were all entertained for ages. Really good fun and educational too. Definitely worth checking out with the family.”

“New playground installed with Flying Fox, eels in the river, nature walk & train Station”

“The scene is amazing and its such a pleasurable walk or bike ride. If you want to go to the lighthouse just be mindful that its a good 1.5 hour trek but its well worth it. There are no public toilets along the way either so make sure you do your business before you leave.”

“One of the dudes I was hiking with left his phone at the top and only realised once we were about to reach the car lol. Fortunately it was found by a kind soul who gave it back. The hike itself was great and there was a nice picnic area great for enjoying some cheeky snacks. I had some Sichuanese style noodles. There are also great views of the bay from the top area of the hike. Would recommend!”

“Beautiful beach, good for walking or swimming. Just make sure to check the tide level as sometimes it gets very high”

“This is a fantastic playground, nestled within the botanic Gardens. Not only is there great equipment for children of a range of ages (a number of slides, flying fox, monkey bars, swings and other climbing equipment), there is plenty of shade, tables, and bathrooms! It really ticks all the boxes.”

“Found this spot on a gorgeous day in New Zealand, waiting for one of my daughter's to get in at the Wellington Airport. I got more than I expected, pulling off into the provided parking area. Very peaceful but your not totally alone, many came & went while I was there. A nice find for a waiting place. You can watch planes come in or go out.”

“Excellent gardens in spring: rhododendrons daffodil s & blossom trees. Sheltered. Playground, parking all there. Easily reached off SH2. Tennis courts and large playing fields plus River walk picnic tables and BBQ. Sept. 18”

“Love this part of Wellington. Always interesting to see the stingrays when they're around”

“Great variety of day hikes in Belmont Regional Park. We went to the Trig. Fantastic panorama.”

“It doesn't matter how many times you go here, it never gets old. The roses are gorgeous, and the plants are so well cared for. I wish I could live in the begonia house!”

“Excellent place for a walk, sit in the sun, a picnic or give the kids fresh air and a good play in the play ground.”

“Ironically very grassy. Wonderful playground. River sounds nice and is clear (!)”

“Great area for dogs to run around off lead. Large green field, plenty of trees for shade. BYO drnking water and doggy bags, lots of rubbish bins.”

“One of my favourite Lower Hutt beaches, a long sandy waterfront. There is a concrete path and low concrete wall between the free street side car parking off the roadway. There is a small short sand dune which is where birds nest and there are bunny tails and other plants growing along there.”

“Find sea glass with your kids, driftwood for your new Pinterest board, or just let time stand still for a few minutes and admire Wellington on a good day.”

“Really good beach that you can drive straight up to. A few tables around and a good set of clean public bathrooms. Has an outdoor shower + water fountain. The water is super warm in summer compared to other beaches in Wellington.”

“Great place to bring the kids around for lil picnic with the great view, playground from toddler year 2-5. Near the beach, clean toilet with paid parking car near the pool.”

“A nice walk down from mount Crawford and the memorial has a very transcending vibe to it. Was with my partner and we enjoyed the breathtaking views from both sides of the memorial and just laid down on the grass and took it all in”

“Would love to go back on a really stormy day. Very pretty spot.”

“Visited the Cafe and exhibitions today. The Cafe food and coffee was top quality, and the exhibition spaces are well set out. The art works were suitably challenging, made us think and ponder, which good art should do! Highly recommend a visit.”
