Fantastic place to visit. Beautiful spot with an amazing memorial to a special PM. Make sure you walk up the hill from the memorial to checkout the WW2 bunkers. Easy family walk. Great photo opportunities with beautiful architecture, landscape views over the harbour and the city and lots of flowers and bugs in season. Parking is fairly limited and not well sign posted. It’s just south of the lighthouse.

A good place of peace and solace. A great view of the Wellington Harbourside, and Somes Island. You can get there by car via Shelly bay (4 minutes) or walk (24 minutes), then a 5 minute uphill walk to the shrine. There is also a good ground for picnic. No public toilet onsite and you need to take your own rubbish back with you.
Great little known spot. The memorial is quite large and very well maintained. The memorial and crypt are built from pearly white marble which makes it stand out from other buildings in Wellington. It's a quite and peaceful place with great views of the harbor as well as a great spot for plane spotting, especially on the hill behind the memorial. Up the hill is the remains of some WWII bunkers. The concrete structures are still standing and accessible. It's a short bush walk up a well maintained track from the road to get to the memorial. The car park is quite small and not very well sign posted. We had a bit of trouble parking as there were a few visitors when we arrived.
Beautiful views! Especially if you go on a full moon
EXPLORE WELLINGTON Have you seen this before? The Massey Memorial is a beautiful structure above the hills in Miramar - it's a quick 5 minute walk up from the road and has stunning views towards Wellington, Hutt Valley, and over the harbour️ The Massey Memorial at Point Halswell, Wellington, commemorates William Ferguson Massey, Prime Minister of New Zealand from 1912-1925.
One of the many attractions here in Wellington. As someone who is fairly new to Wellington, there was a lack of signage for Massey Memorial and it was hard to find the way up. After we found the way up it was an easy walk towards the memorial. Going to Massey Memorial made me want to learn more about the history of Wellington and NZ.
Magnificent position, albeit lacking full harbor views. The five minute walk from the harbourside access is not suitable for the elderly or people with disabilities.
Very easy 3 minute way up, although it can get muddy. Very limited parking space and the entrance is easy to overlook. The memorial itself is quite impressive and the views from there are stunning. If you have 10 mins to spare, go there.
