The Miramar Peninsula is home to around 20,000 people and sits at the south-eastern edge of Wellington - the capital city of New Zealand. Its an area of rugged coastlines, sheltered bays, bushwalks as well as being the centre of the film industry. All of those creative people like to eat, so the Peninsula offers some of the best coffee and dining experiences in the city.
The Peninsula is made up of a number of suburbs, each with its own unique character: Strathmore Park, Seatoun, Maupuia, Breaker Bay, Moa Point, Miramar, Shelly Bay, Scorching Bay, Karaka Bay.
The Peninsula sits close to Wellington International Airport and is well serviced with bus and ferry services into the city.
A wide range of excellent educational facilities are available on the Peninsula including the long standing Scots College, a private all boys school for Years 1-12 located in Strathmore and the Te Kura Kaupapa Maori o Nga Mokopuna Kohanga Reo in Seatoun.

A great aspect about living on the Peninsula is not having to rely on the City to get things done. Whether you need garden supplies, gourmet sausages from the butcher, a panelbeater, camera repair, personal trainer, dog day care, hair cut or even to book a holiday... you can do it all in your own neighborhood.
