Aotea – Local Attractions & Amenities

 

Located just 2o minutes north of Wellington CBD and only a few more minutes away from the picturesque and sunny Kapiti Coast, Aotea is fast becoming a place where work and home life balance come hand in hand.  Aotea has the best of both worlds being situated conveniently near Wellington’s bustling cultural, dining and shopping experiences and Porirua’s family friendly environment and warmer climate, all at a more relaxed pace.

Families can enjoy numerous reserves, walkways, cycleways, parks and playgrounds, not to mention sports on the harbour and inlet and the 54kms of coastline.  Beaches cater for all activities whether it be, surfing, swimming, windsurfing, rock-hopping or use of the boat launching facilities for those that take pleasure in boating.

 

For the shopaholics, theres North City Shopping Centre and the MegaCentre and for those that are more culturally or sports inspired, there is the Te Rauparaha Arena Aquatic and Fitness Centre and   Pataka Museum of Arts and Culture.
