[2025 Wellington Restaurant] Travel Guide for Olive (Updated Jul)

Make the most of your weekend during an overseas business trip with a short getaway to Wellington! As soon as you arrive at the airport, you'll be greeted by Gandalf—what a way to kick off your trip! While in Wellington, don't miss a visit to Weta Workshop. They offer behind-the-scenes tours of productions like The Lord of the Rings and Thunderbirds. Be sure to book in advance! There are two types of tours available, and I’d love to go again myself! Another must-do is the cable car! There's just something so charming about cable cars abroad—am I the only one who feels this way? Hop on and enjoy the views! On your way back, take a leisurely walk through the gardens for a relaxing experience. You can also explore bars and cafes, and the compact, walkable nature of the city adds to its charm. Wellington is a perfect destination for solo travelers or those new to international trips. It's a city that anyone can enjoy!

They have a beautiful courtyard out the back that makes you feel like you’re in the middle of the forest. Olive is always packed with people but there’s never a massive wait for food. The corn risotto is absolutely packed full of flavour and incredibly rich and creamy. The courtyard area is interesting and kept warm in winter with plenty of heating. Food is fresh and delicious. Coffee is great and staff were very attentive. Worth its reputation. #Newzealandtrip #goodfood
