What’s in a name? Weka Bay, tucked away in Wellington’s magnificent harbour, holds a story in its very name. It’s named after the weka, a curious, flightless bird native to New Zealand. You might even be lucky enough to spot one rustling through the undergrowth nearby. Imagine this bay as a haven for mariners. They sought shelter from the notoriously unpredictable weather in the Sounds. Weka Bay, open to the north, offered respite from easterly to southerly winds. However, the strong tidal currents made it suitable only for overnight anchorage. Today, Weka Bay paints a picture of tranquil beauty. It’s a reminder of New Zealand’s close relationship with the sea and the creatures that call it home.
