Zealandia is a fantastic place that you would never expect in Wellington. It's an easy 25 minute walk from the top of the Cable Car (or buses leave from down town Wellington) and is well sign posted. We were lucky enough to have a beautifully sunny day and were told all about the routes on offer and available tours on... more
