Our Spaces

The Arborist brings together two unique Wellington hospitality experiences — a welcoming ground-floor restaurant and bar, and a hidden rooftop garden seven stories above the city.

A variety of dishes on a wooden table, including grilled bread, a bowl of what appears to be spicy chicken or beef with green onions, a bowl of salad, and other side dishes, with colorful beverages in the background.
