Wellington is ideally located in the middle of New Zealand, providing easy access in and out for those who fly, drive, train or even ferry here. As New Zealand’s capital, the city acts as a transport hub and is an easy one-hour flight from anywhere in the country, and just a short flight away from major Australian cities. Once here, Wellington is a friendly and walkable city that is easy to get around.
Situated on a stunning harbour, Wellington is a city on nature’s doorstep, with native bush or golden sands never far from the CBD. Walk or cycle up Mt Victoria to enjoy spectacular 360-degree views of the city or visit ZEALANDIA, the world’s first fully-fenced eco sanctuary. Venture a little further out of the city to explore the award-winning Wairarapa wine region or the endless beaches of the Kāpiti Coast.
Set on a stunning harbour and surrounded by nature, Wellington boasts a range of incredible conference and events venues, hosting everything from international conferences to unique incentive experiences. Tākina, our new purpose-built convention centre, will feature 10,000 sqm of flexible convention and exhibition space, due to open in 2023.
Whether you are looking for a five-star room with a harbour view, a luxury lodge out of town, or somewhere in between, Wellington welcomes your group. With 4000 rooms within our compact CBD, the major international brands are well-represented, including InterContinental, Sofitel, Novotel, Rydges and QT.
