Cartel is a great little not-too-pretentious and not-too-conservative bar in SOL Square (Off Lichfield Street), Christchurch.
It’s a tiny little space, but I seem to recall the bartender saying something about bringing a horse inside for the staff party?

Tree Crop Farm is a romantic little B&B made up of a small farm house and 3 standalone cottages, all nestled snuggly into the Akaroa hillside.
My partner and I stayed in one of the cottages on a cold and rainy weekend which made it all the more enjoyable to be rugged in front of an [...]

Now here’s a cafe that lives up to its name!
Started very recently by a couple of clever folk who also know a thing or two about the coffee roasting business, this sneaky little hideaway serves up low-key brunch like cheese toasties, sardines on toast, jam donuts and muesli, with a supreme selection of coffee and [...]

I rediscovered my romantic side a few months ago and decided it was time to take a break with my girlfriend up north for a bit of R&R.
Kourawhero Lodge is a tranquil and rather expansive location that completely takes you away from the city life, a perfect 40-50mins drive north of Auckland.

A friend of mine remarked to me a few months ago that “if you can’t be bothered with a plane ride to New York, Melbourne is definitely the next best thing,” which is a rather big call. However like New York, Melbourne is a vibrant, thriving city with a style and a modus operandi all [...]

Despite being a must-do activity for Kiwis and tourists alike, until now I had never been to Ninety Mile Beach. Having finally done it feels like I have completed some kind of rite of passage.
It is a truly liberating feeling to drive at 100 kilometres per hour on what is probably the widest two-lane highway [...]

Clovelly is a sweet suburb a couple of beaches south of Bondi, and north of Coogee. There is a small village about 7min walk up the hill from the beach, that is home to Clodeli, a delicious cafe and deli that serves great corn cakes with tomato salsa and wasabi.
The village also has a great [...]
