It’s easy to understand why this beautiful destination is famous for holiday travelers as it is accessible from Wellington, the capital city of New Zealand.

While here, be sure to visit Wildfinder | Pencarrow, where you may bike along the coastline and see Pencarrow Head Lighthouse. East Harbour Regional Park is also a great spot for a hike or a walk, while Butterfly Creek offers a more exhilarating track with majestic views.
