Upper Hutt is a city of 36,660 just 25 minutes' drive or a 40-minute scenic train ride north from Wellington.
The city is renowned for its many parks, recreation areas like the prize-winning Maidstone Max and H2O Xtream and rural attractions which range from both native and exotic birds and animals to public gardens, art and heritage areas.
Nestled by the Hutt River - unique in the world for its pristine condition and troutfishing grounds despite flowing through two cities - Upper Hutt is set amongst bush-clad hills with easy access to recreational pursuits ranging from quiet native forest and riverside walks and fishing to hunting, tramping and mountainbiking. |
