Petone is reason number 8 for visiting Wellington:"Renowned for its natural spring, where locals still roll up to fill their containers, Petone's historic main drag, Jackson Street, is a trove of quirky antique shops and galleries. Among them you'll find Bookfest, a haven for cookbook tragics, and Lesa gallery of contemporary pacific art. Don't miss lunch at Bella Italia, whose unlikely industrial setting is more than made up for by its vast selection of fresh and imported produce and authentically rustic Italian menu "
A stroll along Jackson Street is an adventure, with surprises at every step.
The Jackson Street experience can be as simple as enjoying a leisurely coffee in a relaxed outdoor setting, or a full day of shopping that includes strolls to take in the heritage buildings and a meal or entertainment to finish the day.
