Come visit Wellington city and experience culture, beautiful nature and a foodie heaven all rolled into one! Nestled between green hills and a stunning harbour, New Zealand’s capital city is the best point to start on an epic road trip around the North Island. At GO Rentals, we’re so happy to have car rentals available to hire in Wellington for you to begin the holiday of a lifetime! Check out our top destinations in Wellington city centre and the surrounding region:
Learn about the brewing process and taste test some of New Zealand’s best craft beer! Wellington is home to numerous breweries, including Garage Project and Whistling Sisters Beer Co, that all have great brewery tours on offer. Get a schooner of your favourite brew and toast to a great experience!
It’s not a worthwhile Kiwi adventure unless you visit some of the Lord Of The Rings set locations. The surrounding area of Wellington is home to many of the places where hobbits and elves frequented! All picturesque in their own way, Mount Victoria, Hutt Park and Kaitoke Regional Park are perfect for a day-visit or camping adventure (if you’re up for it!).
Mount Victoria Lookout has the best aspect of Wellington city! Whether you want to stop off for a quick look at the panoramic views or go for a longer hike, Mount Victoria is the perfect place for any nature lover. And for the more active tourist, the mountain biking trails are sure to get your blood flowing!
Rent a car from Wellington airport and head straight to the harbour to take in the beautiful seaside. Take an afternoon stroll along the promenade at Wellington Waterfront and drink in the fresh air. For the thrill seekers, try out kayaking for a sea adventure!
The iconic Wellington Cable Car is considered to be one of the city’s most popular landmarks. Taking you from Lambton Quay in the city centre up to picturesque Kelburn, this historic cable car is great for a relaxing scenic experience. With a museum and adventure playground at the end of the ride, this trip is perfect for a quiet day of sightseeing.
Finally, only a short drive from Wellington city, the Miramar Peninsula is great for a mini road trip adventure! Head up to Shelly Bay to check out the famous Chocolate Fish Cafe or simply go for a scenic drive to take in all the stunning coastline.
