A beautiful compact city with the gift of moutains and sea in the background
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/08/07
Wellington is a bit like vancouver and san francisco put together only that its allot smaller. There are many beautiful view points, you even see some of the mountains from the south island off in the distances, there are also many beautiful hilly suburbs as well. You can drive out from the city centre to the countryside in a matter of minutes. ...
I lived in NZ for 2 years and had a chance to go to Wellington twice. First of all I love Kiwis, great people and NZ overall is a gorgeous country. Having said that the reviews here are way exaggerated. Wellington is definitely worth a trip for a couple of days but there is not so much to do or see after that; weather I think really IS as bad as ...

Dull and Dear
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/23/06
At first, you would love the place - clean, green and scenic. But after months of living there, you would realize how boring the place can be! Most of the shops close by 6pm, shopping is boring with never-heard brands but priced so highly, nowhere else to explore the city once you have made yoursel famliar with the place. It gets too windy, wet ...

Paradise on teh Planet
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/21/06
Welington, oh such an awsome place, walk around the city with beautiful waterfronts, lovely tall buildings and most of all among the most friendliset people I have ever seen in my life!
The Pubs, pokies, multi ethinic eat joints keeps in the best of moods. The airport is so handy, inexpensive travel, motels are under budget!
Wellington is the arts capital of New Zealand. Between the galleries, live music venues, theatres and cafes theres always something to see or hear. Add to that the spectacular coastline and beautiful town belt and you have a city thats great to visit or to live in.

My New Favorite City
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/14/06
Wellington is amazing- a new home away from home for my husband and I. The city is compact, clean, and vibrant - completely walkable, even in the wind! The people are inquisitive and eager to learn, the coffee is so much better than anywhere else in New Zealand, and the shopping is unique and quite fun. The surrounding areas, even just a few minutes away, seem so rural and breathtaking. You will love your trip to Wellington.

Great place for Americans to escape Winter!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/19/06
Well, I live here so what do I like about this place? Well, it doesnt have too many poisonous insects and no snakes at all!!! Summer here is not too hot or too cold! Perfect weather for people on the other side of the world to escape the winter season!

I heart NZ!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/09/05
When I visited New Zealand this past summer, I fell in love with it. But, I would have to say that I simply adored Wellington. Everything there just seemed so perfect! The people were extremely friendly and laid back. My friends and I were looking for a good place to shop where the prices were resonable (prices there are a lot higher there than ...

Wellington
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/09/05
If you are visiting New Zealand, this is a must. It is set in great landscapes and has all the things a big city has to offer, but without that big city hussle and bussle. This is a great place to be. It has bad press about the wind. It can get windy, but most other areas of New Zealand get more rain. I know which one I would prefer!.
