It's a nice place and good place to stay to avoid Wellington city traffic when you're making a long trip the following. There's good shopping in Porirua itself and also a good train and bus service into Wellington. There's a good food court at North City. I had a delicious roast dinner.

I was visiting family, it's a nice place to live with quiet streets and a shopping precinct catering for the all the basics. The area is mainly residential although it is surrounded by scenic hills and a beautiful coastline. Staying in the village does allow people either walk to, or leave their car at the nearby station to catch the train into Wellington, avoiding the busy traffic and expensive parking. Its well worth catching the train to Paekākāriki at sunset to enjoy the wonderful views towards Kapiti Island, there are also two excellent museums nearby - the "Southward Car Museum" and "the Wellington Tramway Museum" located at the Queen Elizabeth Park.

The plaza at Porirua was clean and had a variety of stores & eateries. The commercial and retail in the city was great also with ample parking and an easy walk around the areas. Train station and buses were convenient.

The traffic at most times near to shopping malls and c b d is congested at all times if you are planning a trip into Wellington give yourself extra time allowance for the travel as it can be pretty slow going with numerous roadworks construction on main highway this is always a problem in and around Wellington. There are many different food outlets available in Porirua something for everyone. Titahi Bay Beach is a jewel in the crown for a peaceful stroll or explore,

We came for family event at Porirua RSA, so we enjoyed our time with them. That was a great venue friendly people to socialise have fun, good music and loved to dance. Also shopping mall was great had everything we needed.

North city shopping plaza is great, plenty of variety in clothing shops and also food shops. Great little coffee cart called the little goat close to where i was staying (The Post Hotel), exceptional coffee :)) I was visiting Porirua due to post grad study so i spent most of my time at Whitireia so i cant really comment on outdoor activities in the area.
