Mount Victoria

Mount Victoria, locally abbreviated to Mt. Vic, is a prominent hill to the east of the centre of Wellington, New Zealand, and its associated suburb. To the south of it is a spur, Mount Albert, and the two are linked by a ridge.

The suburb of Mount Victoria is a mixture of residential and commercial activity on the western flank of the ridge above the southern end of the Wellington Central Business District. Adjoining suburbs, almost entirely residential, are Oriental Bay, Roseneath and Hataitai.

Government House, the home of New Zealand's Governor-General, lies on the slopes of Mount Victoria to the south of the Basin Reserve, between Mount Victoria and Newtown. Behind it is Wellington Hospital.
