The nation’s harbour capital, Wellington has undergone a renaissance over the past 10 years, turning it into a vibrant, cosmopolitan city and justifying its ranking as the 14th best city in the world to live in, based on the annual Mercer survey of quality of living.
As well as being home to government and New Zealand’s national museum, symphony orchestra and ballet, Wellington also boasts a thriving mix of IT, computing and software industries alongside more established corporates. Located in the centre of New Zealand, Wellington is hailed as the country’s cultural capital and home to many of our most innovative businesses and creative people.
Peter Jackson, producer of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, is based here, along with Weta Workshop and Weta Digital, the groundbreaking visual effects companies. New Zealand’s most stunning and energetic urban destination, Wellington offers all the delights of the world’s most cosmopolitan cities, yet maintains a cosy and friendly village atmosphere due to its compact size.
