Oriental Bay

Oriental Bay delivers prime Wellington waterfront living with a golden sand beach right at your doorstep. Joggers, cyclists, and families fill the curved promenade while sailboats dot the sparkling harbour.

Upscale restaurants serve fresh seafood and New Zealand cuisine along the bay. Modern apartment towers and boutique hotels offer premium harbor-facing accommodation, though budget options are limited. The area connects easily to city centre via frequent buses, but most visitors prefer the scenic 10-minute walk along the waterfront.

Mount Victoria

Perched on a lush hillside, Mount Victoria gives you front-row seats to Wellington's best harbour panoramas. The lookout crowns the area with jaw-dropping views worth every step of the climb. Victorian and Edwardian wooden homes in cheerful heritage colours line the winding streets. Walking trails through the Town Belt green space offer peaceful escapes just minutes from city centre buzz. Hungry explorers will need to head to nearby Courtenay Place for serious dining options. Accommodation ranges from charming boutique B&Bs to holiday rentals in character villas. Frequent buses connect to the city centre in minutes, though the steep terrain rewards walkers with unexpected harbour glimpses between the historic homes.
