Mount Victoria - THE The Annex OF Wellington

Mount Victoria is a picturesque residential neighborhood that sits on the hills overlooking Wellington's city center. It is known for its heritage homes, narrow winding streets, and the panoramic views offered from the Mount Victoria Lookout. Residents enjoy a mix of modern and historic living with access to a range of amenities including cafes, boutiques, and the green spaces of the Town Belt. The area is also popular among film enthusiasts due to the 'Mount Vic' being featured in several movies, including sequences from 'The Lord of the Rings' trilogy.
