Arty Bees Books
 

Where are we?

Arty Bees Books is located in the central city area known as the Cuba Quarter, which are easily accessible by either car, or the great Wellington public transport system.

Alternatively if you are staying in town our lovely city is so compact that most of the major inner city hotels and the backpackers hostels are only a short walk away.

Coming in by car
From a parking perspective we have 2 hour parking spots immediately outside the front doors of the shop and our trusty Wellington City Council parking wardens generally stop people from parking there all day and hogging spaces.
There are also several large all-day parking buildings within a short walk if you want a day in town.

If you are bringing in books to sell there are also a number of Loading Zone spots directly outside as well, and although you are supposed to have a loading zone ticket for your car to park there, if you are, literally, unpacking your boot and giving us your name you should be OK. We do not recommend you take your eyes off the vehicle though because the aforementioned trusty parking wardens will give you a large unpleasant fine. You have been warned.

If you have a fear of Wellington's complicated parking system we would suggest coming in before 10:30 am in the morning as it's generally pretty clear at that time of day.

Coming in by bus
If you are catching the bus, we are within 100 meters of most of the major bus routes. Our Manners Street front door is just opposite the old James Smith corner which houses the southbound route on its Cuba Street edge. The northbound buses pass through Dixon St and stop opposite the back of our building.
