Hutt Valley is the gateway to the river, hills and mountains.  In this setting Hutt Valley is full of mountain biking, walking and tramping trails from flat passive to extreme.

Hutt Valley has a fantastic history of Maori and the first European settlement which has evolved to now offer excellent arts and cultural activities.  Dive into the stories at attractions like TheNewDowse and Petone Settlers.

Unique shopping opportunities are dotted throughout the valley but Jackson Street, Petone and the upmarket Days Bay and Eastbourne are outstanding.  Westfield Queensgate is the largest shopping centre in the region and offers the more contemporary shopping experience.
