Wellington is the second most populous urban area of New Zealand (population 397,900). It is a three hour flight from eastern Australia and around a ten hour flight from most places on the Pacific Rim.
Wellington is consistently voted New Zealand’s most liveable city. Wellington’s amphitheatre of harbour and hills dictates its compact form. Nearly everything is within easy walking distance.

Wellington is the world’s southernmost capital city of a country.
The Wellington region is a collection of five cities and districts (Wellington, Hutt, Upper Hutt, Porirua and Kapiti). It offers a wide variety of landscapes – from bays and beaches to rolling hinterland – and a matching number of work and lifestyle options. Approximately 180,000 people live in Wellington City; 400,000 in the five cities that collectively make up greater Wellington.
