Wellington Villas - Reviews and Rates

A slow start today despite everyone else being up and busy from 6.30. I was trying to stay out of the way as I did not want to be a distraction but the knock at the door to the bedroom and the voice saying "that's my room!?" meant I had to come out.

Several hours of fiddling around with laptops and cameras later I wandered into town. I ne...

Kia Ora, Sonntag habe ich den Skyline Walkway abgewandert, 14km Wanderung in 500m Hoehe zwischen Wellington und der Tasmansee. Auf der einen Seite sieht man Wellington Harbor und auf der anderen Seite recht ungenutztes Gebiet. Und man kann die Suedinsel sehen, die Sicht war aber nicht die beste. Ein guter Walk zum Training. Gruss Ralf P.S. http:...

We strolled to the local bar by the sea and saw the start of a cricket match on TV. The match was coming from the ground known as the "Cake Tin"which was only a few minutes away. We quickly made our way there and got tickets for the One Day International between the Black Caps ( NZ) and the West Indies. The ground was not very full and we manage...

That first night in Wellington, we went for a sushi meal at one of the conveyor belt restaurants, though this one was a bit hit and miss, probably as it was run by Chinese, rather than Japanese, whose restaurants tend to be of a higher quality, we have turned into real sushi experts due to eating so much of it and as a result have very high stan...

Hellloo. People have been bugging me to update more so here it goes. It's kind of strange- I feel like I'm living here rather than travelling.. at the moment anyways. Actually, I have started a new full time job. I'm working at a lovely cafe/ restaurant on Oriental Parade (which is right by the water and is absolutely gorgeous). It has a really ...

Had a walk about this morning. Pat wanted to go to the market. I wanted to to have a ride on the vintage tram. Pat discovered the vintage tram went to the market. Bugger! Set off for a winery north of Christchurch in the Canterberry Plain. very nice place. Downed at least four different wines before I noticed you were supposed to spit them out! ...

Friday, July 20, 2007 Mike took me on a tour around Havelock and Napier in the morning. It was raining so it was not a good day to take any photos. We had lunch at a very cool spot that had indoor rockclimbing on the other side of the cafe! We stopped off to see Linda at work before Mike dropped me at the bus terminal. I was off to Wellington to...

Trying to find somewhere to legally park your campervan overnight in the capital city is easier said than done. In the end we had only one option...a youth hostel car park. classy, and to top it off the only space available to park in was on a 45 degree angle. Neither of us wanted to use the onboard toilet in case we tipped the precarious balanc...

Yes, Wellington feels like a small town compared to most capital cities I've been to. It's set in a beautiful bay surrounded by hills, with sloping streets lined with a interesting mix of architectural styles, from Victorian to art deco and modern. I covered most of the city on foot, finishing with a tour of New Zealand's Parliament, which opera...
