Hotels in Wellington - Prices and Reviews

Kia Ora, mein LoI (Letter of Interest, mein Antrag fuer ein Residential Permit) ist akzeptiert worden. Habe aber noch keinen Sachbearbeiter zugeteilt bekommen, dem ich meine Unterlagen ueberreichen darf. Habe ausserdem ein Geruecht gehoert, dass die Immigrationsbehoerde im Moment Antraege fuer Work Visas nicht mehr abarbeitet (wegen der Rezessio...

We arrived in Wellington just before lunch on Waitangi Day - the most important New Zealand National holiday commemorating the signing of the treaty between the Maori tribes. After settling into yet another YHA, we set out to get some lunch before returning the car, to just outside the city itself. Heading back into Wellington, we past the Welli...

The second nice day in a row. To celebrate I took my final hike to Belmont Park. I've been there so often it has begun to feel like my backyard, yet the place is so big I've never done the same hike twice. I will definitely miss the prickly gorse forests and dogging sheep **** with every step. In the afternoon I lounged on our underused deck and...

Today, we find ourselves in Wellington, the capital of New Zealand. It is kind of a U-shaped harbor area that we are docked in and the views aren't terrific because it is rather cloudy. Interestingly, the part of the city that we spent our day in saw a few breaks of sun, but the other side of the water had menacing looking clouds over it all da...

Woke up not feeling too great, but a little better than Julesy as she booted me out of bed to get her some bacon, nice bread and juice! After our very tasty breaky we attempted to check out the Te Papa museum but after the natural wonders section we decided that it wasn't the best day for walking round a museum and I'd spotted a cinema on the wa...

Wellington is situated on a harbour and surrounded by hills, and is a friendly city. It is home to the national museum 'Te Papa', which I went to on my first day there with a guy from my hotel. It's a fantastic museum, the best part is that it's free! We did an earthquake simulator and sheep shearing simulator (only in NZ!) which was harder than...

I'm not sure where we stayed last night, but it was definitely rural. We headed off to Wellington, which took much longer than I had anticipated. We took our time, stopping often, and having fish and chips along the way. A couple hours out of Wellington, we ran into to some bad weather that got worse. Kim was complaining about my driving until I...

Wednesday 5th April, Day 131: We awoke in the morning feeling quite groggy and not as raring to go as we should have been. It turned out, that the bed which we had pulled out to sleep on last night, was in fact to be used for children only, and so that would explain why the panels felt like they were going to snap each time we turned over in our...

Marathon journey We had a BIG drive after the BIG DAY OUT back down to Wellington at the very bottom of the North island. Nothing really exciting to report - we stopped in Hamiliton which was not the most interesting place but we had wicked cake and coffee. That night we decided to stay in a hostel just outside of Wellington because we did not w...

Arriving late into Wellington we dropped our car off at the rental warehouse in town and then headed off to our Hostel. Initially we had hoped to spend a bit of tie in Wellington but to be honest the hostel wasn't the best and after a day exploring its Gallery/museum we decided to head over to the south Island. the boat journey was nice and calm...
