Massey Memorial

Nice view but the site need restauration

It's always worth adventuring around Point Halswell on the Miramar Peninsula - formerly known by the much more interesting Māori name Kaitawharo (to eat jellyfish"). The Massey Memorial is in fact the mausoleum of William Massey

The marble memorial carries an allure of a gone by era. The mesmerizing views of Wellington harbour come as an extra bonus

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.

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.

Memorial is back open from what I can see. Nice quiet spot with an extravagant memorial considering the location. Good views of Wellington as well

Memorial was spectacular, and very peaceful, bunkers weren't amazing, but the cows and the view make it definitely worth your while!

Can walk here but some of the way is overgrown and paddocks. Not ideal for wheelchair or strollersA lovely walk and views

Beautiful place, find the secret track and find amazing things…..

Quite difficult to get there from the road above, recommend taken the normal path!Beautiful view!
