Called the world’s ‘coolest little capital’ Wellington (Te Whanganui-a-Tara) is known for its vibrant arts scene, world class café and restaurant culture, and active outdoor lifestyle. A creative, cosmopolitan city, Wellington combines the sophistication of a capital city with the warmth and personality of a village. Spectacular coastlines, big skies, wide valleys and colonial townships make up the Wairarapa, one of the country’s top wine and food destinations, with the surrounding land covered in vineyards, olive groves and beef, sheep and dairy farms. The coastline is rich in history and geology and includes two scenic lighthouses at Cape Palliser and Castlepoint while a growing range of cycling and walking routes have been developed to take in the incredible scenery.
