Very good Thai food, eat in (you go for the food not the decor) or takeaway. Try the ‘money bags’ for a starter. Say hi to ‘Pilot’ the host. Family run business for over 25 years in Island Bay.

Drive or take the bus here (or walk 30mins) and pick up some truely delicious bread. Our favorite the ‘campagne’ a semi-rustic loaf that’s crunchy on the outside with a delicious soft center with the perfect amount of chewiness. Sooo good.

Go for amazing food (Tapas style) and drinks and cocktails. One of the best spots in Wellington. A hidden gem. Both a bar and a restaurant in two tiny turn of the century cottages hidden between high rises. It is located in the downtown but off main streets (safe there though). You might think you are going to the wrong place as you get there. Parking right outside is limited - you are better off finding one on the bigger streets and walking down the lane.

Delicious modern Vietnamese - one of my favourite restaurants in Wellington. Bookings not always necessary but I highly recommend making one to avoid disappointment as this is popular. Great for either lunch or dinner.

The funkiest mini golf course you will ever see. Lots of fun for children and adults. Go to see the amazing sculptures and creatures/creations made from recycled objects originally destined for the landfill. Located on a hillside so not good for people with serious mobility issues.

A gorgeous native wildlife sanctuary. Birds and bush. Lovely walking trails, some can be challenging and uphill, but there are also plenty of gentle trails also. Good cafe also.

Practically next door. Concerts and fairs in the summer, long slide for the kids (or young at heart). Swing sets and jungle gyms. There is a coffee cart just across the street on "most" days. He usually is open after 9am. The cart is located on Reef street just behind the art gallery out of a old camper van, if the side is up, he's open.
