First Impressions

Named ‘the Hutt’ by locals, Lower Hutt is situated in the lower valley of the Hutt River, northeast of Wellington City. The region comprises a cluster of small settlements, including Petone, Wainuiomata, and Eastbourne, as well as a large area of native bush extending into the Rimutaka Ranges.

Lower Hutt was the site of New Zealand’s first organised European settlement, and is now known for its stunning environment, affordable housing, and family-friendly amenities.
