About
As one of New Zealand’s oldest tertiary education institutions, Wellington Institute of Technology (WelTec) is a place where you’ll be given the skills you need to pursue your career goals. WelTec takes in about 8,000 students each year.
If you happen to be one of the lucky few attending this year, the UniLodge Stafford House apartment building is located conveniently close to the WelTec campus. You’ll be able to experience the best Wellington has to offer and still make it to your classes with time to spare.
Travel Times and Transport Options
UniLodge Stafford House sits right in the heart of Wellington. It’s approximately a 35-minute bus ride (including walk time) to WelTec, so you don’t have to dedicate hours and hours each day to the commute. The Lambton Quay North (Stop B) is just a 2-minute walk from UniLodge Stafford House and the 81 bus will take you to Jackson St – right near campus. This bus comes approximately every 15 minutes so if you happen to just miss your bus, you know there’ll be another soon. There’s also the option of catching a train part of the way.
The Wellington public transport system makes it easy to get around. Whether you’re planning your journey to uni or looking to get out and explore Wellington, the Metlink journey planner will help you get where you need to be.
Local Attractions
Featuring a gorgeous waterfront promenade, rolling green hills and a charming harbour, Wellington is postcard perfection. There’s plenty to explore on days you’re not in class. You can’t go past a ride in the historic Wellington Cable Car (it’ll take you to the top of a lookout), and the waterfront district is utterly charming, dotted with cafés, parks and ice cream vendors.
You won’t want to miss a visit to Zealandia, an ecosanctuary home to some of New Zealand’s most extraordinary and rare wildlife. And you can read up on Wellington’s rich maritime history and city evolution at the Museum of Wellington City & Sea.
A compact and walkable city flaunting beautiful open spaces, Wellington is an incredible place to study. People from all over the world choose to live here, making it a diverse palette of people and cultures.
