Right in the heart of Wellington Waterfront, Whairepo Lagoon has been used for so many special occasions, like Matariki celebration. I love strolling around the area when there is a festivity but even without it, is a good place to have a brisk walk, enjoy the sun and quick lunch, or just take pictures. There are many eateries and cafes around it and it’s not too far from Te Papa Museum, Wellington sign near Solace in the wind, Frank Kitts park, Moana statue, and many other attractions in the vicinity. Public toilets are available and paid parking building is available in TSB arena or Te Papa museum, or near Harbour side market

This places is in the heart of the capital city of wellington and its a good walk from the waterfront and courtaney Place. It has some amazing events organised especially in the new years eve we had a band, lights, boogie music and fireworks lit. Rovers practice in the lagoon. Friends and Family get together here and relax with good sea view and a lot of fresh air.

Pretty lagoon especially at night, beside The Boat House. It is often used by rowers for practice or for racing during the day and is popular at night too especially when events are showcased nearby, such as music festivals, or the recent lantern festival, or when fireworks are held to celebrate events such as New Year's Eve, or Chinese New Year's Day.
