House sitting in Wellington

New Zealand is a dream destination for many, and with one glimpse of its capital city, you'll soon understand why! House sitting in Wellington lets you explore this remarkable city for yourself. From its iconic red cable cars to its busy harbour, it's easy to fall in love with Wellington.

Going house sitting in Wellington gives you an amazing chance to see the Kiwi capital. You'll be able to visit the lush green mountains that surround the city, offering a natural paradise. There are also the beaches of Evans Bay, the bustling city centre, and so much more. To make the experience even more magical, you'll be doing it all while getting to know some adorable critters!

See the city from above

When you arrive in town for your house sitting in Wellington, you'll want to see the sights. There's no better way than from the Wellington Cable Car! This historic funicular railway will take you from Lambton Quay, the city's main shopping street, up to the hills. The journey in the iconic red cable car is only about five minutes long, but you'll have plenty of time at the top to admire the views that overlook the city, the harbour and, beyond it, New Zealand's South Island, just a short boat trip away!

Visit New Zealand's most iconic museum

Wellington house sitting will let you explore New Zealand's unique, remarkable culture, where European influence meets Māori tradition. This can best be seen in Te Papa Tongarewa, the country's national museum. The Māori name translates to "container of treasures", and it couldn't be more accurate! Inside, there are dresses and textiles from the 16th century, ancient fossils, cultural artefacts and more. Some of the most fascinating exhibits are the whakairo, traditional Māori carvings made from stone, bone or wood, which are often incredibly detailed.

Get lost in nature

New Zealanders are justifiably proud of their country's unique ecosystem. Native flora and fauna are celebrated and protected in parks and sanctuaries around the country. When you're house sitting in Wellington, you'll find one of these parks right on your doorstep! The Zealandia wildlife sanctuary is on the edge of town, a rich green space that celebrates and protects native biodiversity. In particular, look out for the huge variety of unusual and fascinating birds that live here, such as the colourful tui and kea.

Explore the modern city

While many visitors to New Zealand come for its nature, Wellington house sitting lets you see that the country has hip urban centres, too. Go shopping in the boutiques that line Lambton Quay, or visit the trendy artsy stores and cafes on Cuba Street. Take a leisurely stroll down the Wellington Waterfront Walk, where you'll have cool restaurants and shops on one side, and the ocean on the other. If you're lucky, you might even spot a seal or two!
