Food Scene
Wellington is covered with 'Mojo' coffee shops, they are the New Zealand equivalent of Starbucks, but Caffe L'affare was one of the first coffee roasteries in Wellington and is a short walk from the apartment through Pukeahu War Memorial Park.

The buckwheat pancakes (with fresh banana, cinnamon roasted almonds, and ginger & honey syrup) at Neo Cafe is my favourite way to start the day, but beware - the stack is high so make sure you're not in a hurry.

Phoenician Falafel makes the best doner kebabs in town. Forgot to organise dinner? Grab a kebab on the way home or dine in - with their homemade garlic yoghurt sauce I'm yet to find a menu item that isn't delicious.

For fresh Vietnamese food look no further than The Lotus on Marjoribanks Street. Take the back route from the apartment up Ellice Street, across Brougham Street, and down Majoribanks Street to admire the victorian architecture of the Mt Victoria neighourhood before sitting down to some fresh rice paper rolls and a vermicelli noodle salad.

Located at the feet of Mt Victoria, the apartment provides the best of both worlds with buses at your front door, and a hiking trail at your back door. Head right when you exit the apartment and cross the intersection by the Mt Victoria tunnel placing you at the liquor store at the bottom of Ellice Street. Head straight up and you'll reach a dog recreation area that connects to some of the areas used in filming Lord of The Rings.

Sightseeing
We don't have an observation deck in Wellington so for the best star-studded night views of the city head up to Mt Victoria Lookout. It's not far from the city but the shortest route is through the hiking and mountain bike tracks so it's best to grab an Uber on the way home.
