At the head of Wellington Harbour, 15km north-east of the capital of
Wellington, Lower Hutt takes in the suburbs of
Petone, Eastbourne and
Wainuiomata. With its lovely gardens, coastline and native bush areas, Lower Hutt enjoys a reputation as a gateway to the great outdoors.
The Hutt River meanders its way through the centre of Lower Hutt, providing opportunities for fishing, canoeing and jetboating. Avalon Park, between Taita Drive and the Hutt River, is Lower Hutt's main family park. Beaches can be
found at Days Bay and Eastbourne, where plush homes nestle in the bushclad hillsides and fashionable cafés lure visitors from across the harbour in Wellington. Art enthusiasts will find plenty to see at galleries in Jackson Street and central Lower Hutt, and local history can be explored at the Petone Settlers Museum. Beyond Wainuiomata, the Rimutaka Forest Park is a wilderness area popular for hiking, picnicking and river swimming.
