Instagram in Wellington: Cuba Street coffee, Courtenay Place nights and a windy harbour
Wellington is small enough to walk across in half an hour, and that makes Instagram very local. People decide where to get their flat white, which bar to meet in after work and which bookshop or vintage store to browse based on what friends and local accounts post. Cuba Street and the laneways of Te Aro are full of independent cafés, record shops and eateries, while Courtenay Place is the evening and theatre strip.
The harbour gives the city its best views: Oriental Bay on a still day, the red cable car climbing to Kelburn, and the lookout on Mount Victoria. Wellington is famously windy, so a calm, sunny day is worth celebrating on camera.
Craft breweries and distilleries in Te Aro and the Hutt Valley have loyal followers, and Te Papa and the city’s galleries keep a steady flow of visitors.
Festivals set the rhythm. CubaDupa fills Cuba Street with music and food in March, Wellington On a Plate turns August into a month of special menus and burger competitions, and World of Wearable Art brings visitors and fashion content in late September and October.
We plan Reels around these weeks and around the everyday rhythm of a working capital: coffee before 9, lunch near Lambton Quay, Friday drinks. Menus, new releases and behind-the-counter moments work well, and short carousels like “where to eat during Wellington On a Plate” are saved and shared. Captions use plain New Zealand English, with te reo Māori used respectfully and checked by your team. Collaborations with neighbouring venues on the same street broaden reach. We note the weather in planning, because a calm-day post outperforms a grey one. Each month you see saves, shares, profile visits and booking taps, compared with the previous festival week.
- Te Aro venue Reels. Cuba Street cafés, record shops and laneway eateries.
- Festival weeks. CubaDupa, Wellington On a Plate and World of Wearable Art.
- Calm-day content. Harbour and Oriental Bay posts saved for sunny, still days.
- Working-day rhythm. Coffee, lunch and Friday-drinks timing for city workers.
Example first month on Instagram
- Week 1: profile, bio and booking-link set-up.
- Week 2: venue and menu Reels.
- Week 3: festival or seasonal content.
- Week 4: a report on saves, shares and booking taps.
Where in Wellington to point the camera
Location tags and filming spots matter more than “Wellington” as a hashtag:
| Area | Instagram use |
|---|---|
| Lambton Quay | Reels filmed on location with the Lambton Quay location tag |
| Te Aro | Carousel guides for people who live or work in Te Aro |
| Courtenay Place | Story offers for customers near Courtenay Place |
| Thorndon | Collaboration posts with neighbours and venues in Thorndon |
The Wellington market in brief
Government has long been the mainstay of Wellington's economy, alongside professional, scientific and technical services, health, education and retail. Tourism, arts and culture, film and ICT play a growing role: the city is an important centre of the New Zealand film industry, home to Wētā Workshop and Wētā FX, and the harbour is one of the country's chief seaports. Wellington's median income is the highest of all New Zealand cities.
Local habits we build into the plan:
- Public-sector suppliers and consultancies: clear, evidence-led LinkedIn content for a policy-literate audience.
- Cafés, bars and venues around Cuba Street and Courtenay Place: event and food content for a walkable city.
- Film, games and creative studios: behind-the-scenes and hiring content.

Wellington sectors that sell on Instagram
Sectors named in Wellington’s economy and how Instagram serves each:
- Restaurants and cafes: Menus, plating and short kitchen clips are what diners browse before booking, so Reels and saved carousels do most of the work. Playbook
- Clinics and dentists: Before-and-after content within the rules, team introductions and FAQ Reels make a clinic feel familiar. Playbook
- Hotels and travel: Room tours, local-guide carousels and guest content sell the stay before people compare prices. Playbook
