Mount Victoria, locally abbreviated to Mt Vic, is a prominent hill (height 196 metres) 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. A Greek Orthodox church is on Mount Victoria's western flank, while the Basin Reserve sports stadium and National War Memorial lie near its foot. Schools in the area include Wellington College , Wellington East Girls' College and Clyde Quay School . The Hataitai Bus Tunnel and the Mount Victoria Tunnel (SH1) run beneath the ridge, connecting the central city with Wellington International Airport , Evans Bay and the Miramar Peninsula .
