Northland, a small suburb in western Wellington, New Zealand. The suburb is served by two state primary schools, Northland School and Cardinal McKeefry Catholic Primary School. The suburb is named in honour of Thomas Uchter Caulfield, Viscount Northland who was the son of Uchter Knox, 5th Earl of Ranfurly, Governor of New Zealand from 1897 to 1904.[2]

Locations

The suburb, formerly known as Creswick,[3] lies to the west of Kelburn, to the east of Karori, to the south of Wadestown and to the south-east of Wilton. It sits high on the south western slopes of Tinakori Hill. The suburb is adjacent to the Wellington Botanic Garden, the Karori Wildlife Sanctuary and Ian Galloway Park.

Shops

Northland contains a cluster of shops at the top of Garden Road, known as the Creswick Shops. The shops located there include a dairy, cafe, pet groomer,[4] mechanic,[5] and various take-away food shops including: Burger Wisconsin, Dominoes, Pizza Hut, and Hell Pizza.

Demographics
