When you find yourself in Oriental Bay, one of Wellington’s most vibrant enclaves, you’ll encounter a lively culture with one of the closest beaches within the city limits, and a variety of sights that must be witnessed to make the most of your time here. Wellington itself is a thriving metropolis to explore, and this is best indulged in from a stylish Wellington city hotel with a central location such as the Copthorne Hotel Wellington Oriental Bay. With its close proximity to fine dining and entertainment, this is one of the most vibrant Wellington New Zealand hotels to host your stay. Oriental Bay is hailed as a ideal tourist spot, as it boasts a beautiful stretch of golden sand right within the environs of the city, so fun and sun is not far from the bustling capital city of NZ. It has also acquired an upscale label, and is fondly known as Wellington’s own Riviera, with a stylish array of cafes, art galleries and some of the best ice cream parlours in the city, with Beach Babylon serving some of the finest selections of this chilled treat. It affords the ideal ambiance for a spot of picnicking in the sun with family and friends. If you’re craving some fresh fruit and veggies, then the Oriental Bay Store is for you. Boasting more than two decades’ worth of business, it is run by the friendly Mr. Patel, whose personal approach to each and every one of his customers make it a grocery store excursion worth embarking on, and you will walk out of there with bags of quality produce and smiles galore.
