About Aurora Estate

Outside view of Aurora EntranceBuilt in the early 1900’s Aurora Estate was once home to over 20 Catholic Nuns. Nestled among large pine trees, this large, two-story wooden convent has become one of Wellington ’s prominent historic buildings.

In 2002 this building was fully refurbished and transformed into high quality long-term accommodation.
