Te Aro

Wellington

Slow Boat Records is a fantastic record store in the heart of Wellington. They have a large and varied selection of records, with a big emphasis on local music, including several Maori records. A great stop for any music lover!
The place far exceeded my expectations!! Only had a couple hours, but you could easily spend the entire day there. I'm not even really a museum person, but seriously, don't miss this place!!!
Apparently people love to jump off places into the water here

Just to the left of Te Papa there is a set of stairs that allow people to jump into the water through a hole in the deck.  Seems crazy to me!

7.4/10 Good! (999 reviews)
Earthquake prone building, only 15% of new build strength. Stained carpet and blinds, possibly due to leaky windows. Duct tape on the bathroom windows! Bath stained. Noisy due to leaky window frames, despite double glazing. Pluses were the nice bed and large rooms.
