Really nice, modern and spacious museum. Truly enjoyed "Terminus", the virtual reality exhibition that mixes kinetic art and a surreal trip experience. Totally recommend it.

A great variety. Loved the different corners and views. The moving and developing art is something that keeps you intrigued.

Somewhat, underwhelming exhibitions.
The jewelry in the giftshop did emit some creative sparks...

Wellington

If it's windy.....it's windy.... But on a good day a stunning view... Narrow streets up, so be aware of driving carefully, but great city lookout that not many city's will have.

Mount Victoria provides stunning 360-degree views of Wellington City. There were many tracks for mountain biking, walks, hikes and lot of other activities. I got dropped off by an uber, which saved me a bit more time as I didn’t have much time to spare. You will find an attractive memorial near the viewing platform. Fantastic photo opportunities. You cannot  beat Wellington on a perfect day.

This Mountain never fails to impress. If you have a car you can drive up but you can catch a bus from town. It goes up to the top. Just beautiful, words fail to describe the view from up here. So happy to live in a country like NZ

Awesome tramping paths. Fantastic wildlife and they are not shy to show off for a few pictures. We'll worth the trip out there.
The request for a donation at counter whilst purchasing access tickets is off putting, as we are all affected by the Pandemic. In fact sites like these should actually consider lowering ticket prices for locals to make it accessible thereby helping them stay afloat.

Loved Zealandia. The Takahe for me was the definite highlight. The walking was easy although there's a few challenging sections but the trails are well explained. I wish I had enough time to do the night tour! Maybe next time. The only sour part of our experience was the beginning at the welcome desk. As soon as we paid she turned around without much of explanation. We thought perhaps she was getting us a map but a quick run down of what the attractions are, what we could do, and the bag check area process would have been helpful. Other than that, we were very pleased with our experience. We look forward to going back again sometime in the future.

There's quite a lot to see here, even if it is just taking the time to listen and be quiet while waiting for the birds to come to you. Really calm and peaceful and on a nice day there is a lot of green and blue to be seen. I really enjoyed my visit and would say this is a must-do for any nature lover in Wellington.

A beautiful little theater with the traditional style that everyone loves. The seating on the levels above are very steep, so everyone gets a great view towering over the stage. Not a place for people afraid of heights. Because it's so small, it's easy to see the performances on the stage as they are so close.

Great night with Jimmy Carr, looking forward to heading back for another event!

Beautifully restored, very slight raised seating with no middle isles. Perfect for central viewing, not so good if someone has to ask an entire half row to stand so they can leave  to go to the bar or bathroom (and again on their return have everyone stand).
Multiple options for wheelchair seats but all of course, with no center isle, on the far side of the theatre. Lift access to all floors and accessible toilets.
No mobility parking.

To say that I love Katherine 💘 is quite an understatement, tbh , ive lived and loved with her my entire lifes, even in France , it appears I followed in some of her footsteps, for the all too brief 2 years i lived there, breathed her Air, i kind of understood her from a very very early age, and so to visit the KM house was an absolute delight seriously gorgeous 😍

Very interesting and they have a lot of information on Katherine Mansfield for visitors to read.

A trip down memory lane for this one as I used to live at KM's house. It's well restored and a good representation of life back then. A worthwhile visit.

Wonderful exhibition which provides insights into some of the important documents of New Zealand, including the Treaty of Waitangi, which is the closest to a founding document this country has. Amazing interactives and video presentation. Been back twice, will come back again.

Very cool experience to see the treaties and women's suffrage petition.

This was an excellent exhibit the ability to interact to the extent provided really takes this out past all others. If possible I would give it a 10 rating. I am sorry but I do not have any photos. But encourage people visiting NZ and ALL NEW ZEALANDERS to visit this wonderfull exhibit of our history.

Beautiful historic buildings 🙌🏻 Well worth visiting. Most of these photos were taken with two tour bus loads of people wandering around, so even when busy you can get a clear shot.

New Zealand Parliament Buildings at Wellington
Visited on 31/1/2019

New Zealand Parliament Buildings consist of the Edwardian neoclassical-style Parliament House; the Parliamentary Library; the executive wing, and Bowen House.

Instead of extending the existing parliament house, the government architect persuaded the Prime Minister to approve a modern building.

In 1964, a Scottish architect provided the original conceptual design of a 10-storey round building rising in steps. It also has 4 storeys below ground level.

This forms the Executive Wing, the most contemporary of them all, is referred to colloquially as "The Beehive" due to its distinctive shape.

Although it is eye catching and very appealing, it does not appear majestic and grand from the street level.

the tour was super cool and super informative. it was interesting seeing the places i always see on tv like the debating chamber and the place where press conferences happen. i would have liked to see the earthquake proof structure things but unfortunately due to covid restrictions we couldnt do that. it was quite a tiring walk so i would suggest eating and drinking before going

It's a amazing place to visit especially the tour guide Heather was professional and patient.

Heather greeted us with a warm cup of tea and a friendly chat whilst waiting for the rest of the visitors to arrive. Really informative guide, little gem like stories and relaxing tone. Language was easygoing yet informative. Lucky to have access to such a beautiful house and grounds.

Lovely investiture ceremony. Great to see some fine New Zealanders receiving awards for their service Very special that our Governor General, The Rt Hon Dame Cindy Kiro and her husband took the time to individually greet all the guests present

Awesome History and it was great coming back 20 odd years ago with my family and too share where I was brought up and where there descendants worked.💖❤

Cool place to learn more about the history and story of Petone. Learned so much from this place and now going for a drive around Petone, we were able to point out different places, which were so rich of history and culture. How blessed we are to have such a museum that's able to showcase this beautiful history.

Although, it looks small from the outside, there are lots of nice exhibits inside. The staff was very cheerful and helpful. I specially enjoyed the 25 mins video about the history of New Zealand.

Highly recommended. It will take you less than an a hour. It is worth it.

Easy track to the waterfall, but be prepared to get your feet wet. It’s possible not to, but you will need to hope from stone to stone a lot of times.

What a beautiful place to camp, 8 dollars a night per adult and 4 dollars per child, cash only, fill out the envelope and put monies into the 2 iron maidens provided. has excellent toilet facilities for all abilities. Drinking water tap on site. The walks are stunning, the walk to the waterfall expect wet feet. There are also streams of water where one can cool down in. No rubbish bins on site, please take home

Belmont Regional Park
Another excellent easy walk park in the Hutt Valley Western Hills.  Open daily from 5am to 10pm - these hours are in effect from 1 Oct 2020 until late Apr 21.
The breathtaking views and bush-clad valleys of Belmont Regional Park make it a favourite open space for picnics, walking, running, mountain biking and horse riding.

Located in the hill  between Porirua and the Hutt Valley, the park features the historic Korokoro Dam, Pareaho Pa, World War II ammunition stores and the original main coach road from Wellington. Climb to the trig, enjoy sweeping views over Porirua Harbour, the Lower Hutt and the remnants of ancient boulder block fields. Highly recommended.

My wife and I went here while visiting Wellington. It was recommended by our receptionist in our hotel. The gardens are beautiful and are well maintained. You can easily spend a few hours here enjoying the different gardens. The duck pond is nice to relax at and the rose garden was beautiful and well kept.

Lovely gardens here, never fails to impress no matter how often I go. The variety here and the amount of work that goes into maintaining a garden of this size is astounding.
Suggest making the observatory part of your exploration when you go here.

Wellington Botanic Garden in Wellington
Visited on 31/1/2019

After reaching the peak at the Kelbourn Station by Wellington Cable Car, the only way to go is ls down. Our party of 4 is glad that instead of riding the cable car for a return trip, the alternative option is much better, that is, to enjoy a slow walk through the winding paths of the Wellington Botanic Garden.

From an elevation of 125 m,  or lower down the slope, we can see the breathtaking panaromic views of the city and harbour in the distance.

There are shady paths, and open fields. There are big native exotic trees, ferns and colourful displays of flowers.

It is just a sensational.

great location for art lovers, exhibitions change regularly, with works covering a wide variety of styles

Saw some amazing art in the one and only exhibit that was available for now. It us great that the items are available for sale. Loved the personalised cards, jewellery and vases. Will definitely visit this academy again when in Wellington.

There are many artworks from different artists. I bought a beautiful pottery here. Worth going!
