Wellington Information

We are locals who love Wellington!  Our city constantly changes and we are happy to share local tips and tricks when you arrive.

City Cottages are located in the Cuba Quarter while City Townhouse, City Studio and City B+B are located nearby in Te Aro.  Both locations are close to Victoria and Massey Universities, great shopping and a range of funky bars or cafes. Te Papa, our national museum, is only 20 minutes walk away for each of our locations, and Oriental Bay and the ever changing waterfront precinct is close too.

We are within the vibrant café culture of the capital city. Cuba Street and Courtney Place, with its restaurants, nightlife, theatres and galleries is only a few minutes walk.  We have listed our favourites below.
