Upper Hutt is located only a 25-minute drive or 40-minute train ride north from Wellington and boasts 70% of the region's parks and reserves, along with state-of-the-art entertainment and leisure facilities. Nestled by the Hutt River - Upper Hutt is set amongst bush-clad hills with easy access to recreational pursuits ranging from quiet native forest and riverside walks to the varied mountain biking terrain and the numerous golf courses, museums, wildlife reserves and the H2O Xtreme aquatic centre. The Hutt River Trail runs alongside the beautiful Hutt River as it flows to the ocean. A long-time favourite with Fly Fishermen, this river is home to some of the best Trout fishing in the country. It also has some fantastic swimming holes.
