The new musueum, Ta Papa is excellent, must visit. Love the quayside areas and the wondeful mix of old/not-so-new architecture. We made the mistake of not allocating enough days to 'do' W'ton properly - by far the best, most interesting, scenic City in NZ.

Wellington's a beautiful city. The Te Papa museum is quite an experience (and it's free!). Our favorite restaurant was Kopi, a Malaysian place on Willis St. The Bouquet Garni across the street also had a very nice wine bar with a great selection of Kiwi vintages. The cable car to the botanical gardens is also a lovely trip on a nice day. If you take cabs be sure to take note of the company's name--my wife left her purse in one and every company we called said that because we weren't sure it was one of their cars that we'd have to wait for the purse to be turned in to the police. We ended up having to drive up to Auckland to get her a new passport, only for it finally to get turned in at the airport on our last day there. (Go figure. The drive up Desert Road was gorgeous, at least.)

If you like Irish pubs, don't miss Molly Malones/The Dubliner. The staff is very friendly and the food is outstanding, especially on those cold Wellington days. Te Papa couldn't be any closer, and it's well worth the visit. Wellington is a beautiful harbor-city and worth a visit, but if you're on your way to South Island, don't spend too much time here.

Stayed at Novotel Capital, Wellington - Wellington, New Zealand.

The Angkor restaurant on Dixon street is awesome, would recommend dining there (Cambodian cuisine).
The Novotel is in a good location to the main shopping area Lambton Quay and Willis St and an easy 10-15 min walk to the restaurants and night clubs, taxi's are reasonably priced and are easy enough to get. The Westpac Trust sports stadium is also within easy walking distance as is Parliament.

Te Papa Museum is excellent and I especially enjoyed the Lord of the Rings exhibit. Zibibbo offered great drinks and a friendly bartender (Kylie--a man). Great town to visit for a night or two.

Used a car but had the hotel been closer to buses, would have used them more frequently than I did. Most dramatic city and not for those who are unfit physically.

Didn't spend much time but the city was very attractive. The streets were well laid out and it was easy to get around.
Obviously well serviced with diverse restaurants and night-life.
