Wellington
Hotels
Wellington and hotels are words many think about together. Why not take break to the super New Zealand city of Wellington. It can be a super place to have a vacation or holiday in. You may want to see the culture, the architecture, the historic sites, the sports venues, the entertainment venues or the views and scenery.
Wellington is the capital of New Zealand, the country's second largest urban area, the most populous national capital in Oceania and the southern-most capital city in the world. It is in the Wellington Region at the southern tip of the North Island, near the geographical centre of the country.
Wellington's urban area is constrained by mountainous terrain and stretches north from the central city along two corridors, the Porirua Basin and the Hutt Valley. The combined area and adjacent rural area is administered by four city councils. Wellington Region is a larger administrative area that includes the Kapiti Coast to the north and the area known as the Wairarapa across the Rimutaka Range to the east.
Wellington is New Zealand's political centre, housing Parliament and the head offices of all Government Ministries and Departments, plus the bulk of the foreign diplomatic missions based in New Zealand.
Wellington stands at the south-western tip of the North Island on Cook Strait, the passage that separates the North and South Islands. On a clear day the snowcapped Kaikoura Ranges are visible to the south across the strait. To the north stretch the golden beaches of the Kapiti Coast. On the east the Rimutaka Range divides Wellington from the broad plains of the Wairarapa, a wine region of national acclaim.
Wellington has a reputation for its picturesque natural harbour and green hillsides adorned with tiered suburbs of colonial villas. The CBD is sited close to Lambton Harbour, an arm of Wellington Harbour. Wellington Harbour lies along an active geological fault, which is clearly evident on its straight western coast. The land to the west of this rises abruptly, meaning that many of Wellington's suburbs sit high above the centre of the city.
Wellington is the southernmost
national capital city in the world, with a latitude of about 41°S. It is also
the most remote capital in the World (i.e. the furthest from any other capital).
It is more densely populated than most other settlements in New Zealand, due to
the small amount of building space available between the harbour and the surrounding
hills. Wellington has very few suitable areas in which to expand and this has
resulted in the development of the surrounding cities in the greater urban area.
Because of its location in the roaring forties latitudes and its exposure to omnipresent
winds coming through Cook Strait, the city is known to Kiwis as Windy Wellington.
