Discover an Unforgettable Experience in New Zealand’s Capital City
Thinking of moving to New Zealand, to a place where you can enjoy the fresh air and breathtaking scenery but has the facilities of a modern city, then you will certainly be enchanted by Wellington.
This city is in one of the most beautiful harbour settings for any capital in the world. It is a city of art, entertainment with international performers, concerts, music and film festivals, and for those who enjoy outdoor activities.
It attracts some of the world’s largest cruise ships - such as the recent visit by Cunard's Queen Victoria on its maiden voyage carrying 2,000 people from England. It has also become a destination for Hollywood stars and producers including James Cameron producing Avatar.
And in this city is our wonderful apartment just ten minutes walk from Wellington’s main shopping and central business district, the Beehive - the parliament building – the central train and bus stations and a few minutes drive to the motorway heading north or the ferries for a three-hour crossing to the South Island

After passing through the attractive entrance lobby visitors are stunned by the large atrium and spacious walkways; and that is before they fall in love with this quiet, very private apartment.

It is a very warm home in a secure building – you have no need for heating even in winter. With open plan layout designed for efficient use of space making you feel it is different from others, a place where you can feel comfortable and relaxed in a spacious apartment with restful views.
In addition to the generous 91 sq metres (910 sq ft) of living space it has a large 11 sq m (110 sq ft) balcony and the view cannot be built because the houses below are protected for their historic interest.

The price is negotiable at $NZ580,000 ( GBP233,000 $US459,000 ). The cost of work currently planned to upgrade the outside of the building will be met by the vendor.
Though you cannot fail to want to live in this apartment yourself, should you want it as an investment it attracts a weekly rent of at least $NZ500 to $NZ550.
