Follow our friendly pīwakawaka as you explore, imagine and play
The playful pīwakawaka, or fantail, is one of Aotearoa’s favourite birds. Pīwakawaka dart and dive through gardens, farms, and forests – including here on Matairangi, Mount Victoria.
Getting there
The Matairangi Nature Trail is located on Mount Victoria, east of central Wellington. Mount Victoria is easily accessed from Alexandra Road by vehicle or on a network of walking and cycle tracks from the surrounding suburbs. The trail starts at the southern intersection of Alexandra Road and Lookout Road near the toilets.
