About Wellington

Extend your stay and spend some time in Wellington after the conference! 

Surrounded by nature and fuelled by creative energy, Wellington is a compact city with a powerful mix of culture, history, nature and cuisine. Fuel your visit with strong coffee and world-class craft beer – Wellingtonians are masters of casual dining, with plenty of great restaurants, night markets and food trucks.

Relax at Oriental Bay, Wellington’s golden-sand inner-city beach and delve into the many museums, art galleries and theatre shows that make up the city’s pulsing cultural scene. If you’re into the outdoors, Wellington has action-packed adventure activities like mountain biking and sea-water kayaking, as well as beautiful walks around the harbour and surrounding hills. Try the visually stunning Makara Peak track, as well as the City to Sea walk where you can experience the best of Wellington's waterfront. Ride the cable car up the hill to Kelburn for amazing views over the city and enjoy an ice cream at the top.On the waterfront itself you’ll find New Zealand’s national museum. Te Papa, as it’s colloquially known, means ‘our place’ and is one of the best interactive museums in the world.

Transport in Wellington

Buses, airport shuttles, and taxis are all available from Wellington Airport. Taxis and Airport Shuttles offer door-to-door service and the public bus stop is a 7min walk and takes you into the CBD.

Taxis

Wellington Airport is 8 kilometres away from the Central Business District (CBD). The average journey is 15-25 minutes depending on traffic flow and time of day. Taxi ranks can be found directly outside the baggage claim area on the Ground Floor of the main terminal. Use Door G. While costs may vary between service providers, a Taxi/Executive Cab to/from Wellington CBD can cost between $30-40 NZD. You can pay this fare with cash, credit or EFTPOS. Wellington Combined Taxi Ph: 04 384 4444.

App-based transport

Ola, Zoomy and Uber are available in Wellington. All App-based pick-up is located on the ground level to the south of the terminal. Exit on the Ground Level through Door G, head straight across the crossings and follow the walkway through the rental cars to the pick-up area at the southern end. 

Shuttles

An airport shuttle is a cheaper option than taking a taxi if you’re travelling on your own or in a large group.

The Metlink Route 2 public bus – this is a 700m or 7 minute walk to the Hobart Street bus stop. Exit from Door E and follow the signs. See metlink.org.nz for timetable.
