Summer 2019
Freshly shucked happiness
Blenheim and summer go hand in hand like a glass of wine and, well, a hand. My fiancé Dean and I were excited to visit wine country for a long weekend of good food and great drops, and Marlborough did not disappoint.
On cloud wine in Wairarapa
The Wairarapa region is one Wellingtonians know well. Over the hill but not far away, it offers us city-dwellers a chance to escape the hustle and bustle of our daily lives in a region that feels a world apart from our own. Food and wine, boutique shopping, sunshine, and wide-open spaces – it’s all here in Wairarapa.
Where kiwis tread and birds sing
I arrived in Kāpiti excited for a new experience. As a South Islander, I’m ashamed to say I am not as well versed in the North Island’s marvels as I’d like to be. Over three days, my friend Jeremy and I found a new appreciation for our country’s native wild and forest life thanks to the wonderful guides and people we shared our time with at Ngā Manu Nature Reserve and Kāpiti Island.
