Highlights
- Wellington's oldest original cottage

Built in 1858, Nairn Street Cottage is Wellington's oldest original cottage and is home to the story of the Wallis family who lived there for three generations.
The exhibition features an innovative timeline, revealing what life would be like from 1830-1970. It illustrates the ways in which the first colonial settlers blended their lives from their Victorian homeland with the dictates of a new country.
Outside the cottage is the heritage garden which features plants, fruits, herbs and chickens.
Nairn Street Cottage is within walking distance of the CBD and is at the start of the Aro Valley Heritage Trail.

Absolutely worth climbing the hill for!
I loved it. A small space but also a very small price. I had a fantastic guide who could answer everything I asked and getting to know some history of the house and the family was a brilliant way to spend an hour.

관리자분 정말 친절!!!
웰링턴 왔으니깐 다보고 가야지 하는 마음에 우연히 bookme에서 보고 예약을 했었다. 기대를 전혀 안했고, 아무것도 없을 줄 알았는데, 보존이 정말 잘 되어 있는 것같다. bookme에서 저렴하게 보고 갈 수 있어서 좋았고, 관리자분이 설명해주시는데, 영어권분들 한테 양해를 구하고, 한국에서 온 나를 위해서 천천히 또박또박 말씀해주셔서 너무 좋았다. 잘보고 왔습니다.
