Petone is the harbour-side suburb of Lower Hutt at the northern tip of Wellington Harbour, about 20 km from the airport. The road goes through the Mount Victoria Tunnel and the Wellington Urban Motorway, then follows State Highway 2 along the shoreline between the hills and the harbour, beside the railway, to the Petone interchange and the Esplanade. This stretch carries the main traffic between Wellington and the Hutt Valley, so weekday morning and evening peaks can be slow.
Petone was where the first New Zealand Company settlers landed in 1840, and the Petone Settlers Museum stands on the Esplanade facing the long grey-sand beach. Jackson Street, one block inland, is the main street with restored shopfronts, cafes and boutiques, and Petone Wharf reaches into the harbour. The Esplanade has roadside parking along the beach, and Lower Hutt city centre, Avalon and the Hutt River trail are a few minutes further north. On fine weekends the foreshore and Jackson Street are busy with markets and visitors.
Public transport instead: Metlink bus Airport Express (AX) from Wellington International Airport bus stop (Ground Floor, Door E) to Wellington Station Stop B (Lambton Interchange) — about 25–35 min, every 10-20 min, 7 days a week. Metlink train Hutt Valley Line (HVL) from Wellington Station to Petone Station, 1 change. No direct link: take the Airport Express to Wellington Station, then a Hutt Valley Line train to Petone (check Metlink for bus replacements during track work).
