The Best of New Zealand

Whether you’re headed to New Zealand imminently, or are dreaming of a future visit, you’ll want to listen to this ExtraVirgin Food & Travel episode. We were lucky enough to have the extremely knowledgeable Stephanie Holmes on the podcast for this episode on New Zealand. A British-born, now Auckland local, Stephanie is the travel editor of The New Zealand Herald, so is perfectly placed to talk us through the can’t-misses of Aotearoa. Of course, we only got to scratch the surface of this incredibly diverse country, but we did get plenty of local intel from Stephanie, including the hottest restaurant in Auckland, her favourite secret bar; can’t-miss art exhibitions, where to ski and the best walking tracks, luxury stays, wellness retreats and wineries and where to see the country’s iconic kiwi, plus a lot more.  We hope find this chat with Stephanie as inspiring as we did.
