Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Great place to visit to have a look at the stunning scenery. Situated high up above Wellington the views are spectacular.

Once you have seen one, you have seen them all.
At least this one turns most of the time since Wellington can get quite windy.
Not a big fan of wind turbines since they can kill birds and their intermittent operation means that backup power is always required.

Sheep everywhere - and a nice walk to the stand under the turbine. Fantastic view of the water below.

But a great view to be hard and to see a turbine up close without a long walk interesting facts to read on the board too

We went with a few people for a Sunday walk through the Brooklin wind turbine. At the top, there is information to tell you about this place and when it was updated. The walkway is really good and the view from the top is amazing!

This attraction is something to do, it isn't massively exciting or not a place you would spend ages but it is worth going up for a look to experience being under such a large structure and learning how that one turbine powers 450 homes in the area. The view is the most incredible part of the experience. 360 degree views and over the harbour you can watch the boats come and go. I wouldn't want to walk up to the top personally because taking the car give you the exact same end game lol.

Yup, it's a wind turbine!
No seriously it's an interesting place to see if you like a bit of engineering.
If that doesn't float your boat there's always the walking tracks and the view is stunning. You're able to see the whole of Wellington. Would be a great spot for a sunrise landscape photo.

We visited The Wind Turbine on the weekend, first time since I was at school. Very windy up there but all part of the experience. Lovely information board to give you facts about how it was built. Fantastic views of Wellington from up there. Pretty cool to visit if you have a car and want to explore all areas of Wellington

I regularly walk up to the Wind Turbine along the Zealandia Sanctuary fence line from Highbury. It's a great walk although you have to watch the slippery loose rocks that can cause a fall or two on the way down. The view from the top at the Turbine is fantastic and great for photos with Wellington and the Harbour as back drops.

If you take the walking trail up to the windmill, it's a bit of a hike. The trail is very rocky and uneven (would not be fun if it's been raining as there will be mud) and fairly steep. However, you can drive up to the top, which may be a better option for some. The windmill area itself is obviously very windy - I wouldn't wear a skirt and cold as a result - even on a sunny day. There's not much to see at the actual windmill, but there is a small shelter off to the side which has a bit of the history of the place. The views are also pretty decent of the city behind and the beach and Cook Strait further south.
