Nine Wonders of New Zealand
“With natural splendours that include stunning marine wildlife and geothermal springs, to culinary adventures taking in cutting-edge restaurants and tours of award-winning vineyards, New Zealand is a country that knows how to amaze the senses,” the Guardian reports.
- Auckland: There’s no shortage of places to eat in the City of Sails. “From experimental, avant-garde restaurants to staple seafood at the marina”, there’s something for everybody, according to the article.
- New Zealand Wine: New Zealand is the place to be if you love wine. The Marlborough region on the South Island is known for its crisp whites. A cycling tour of the vineyards is the best way to see the vineyards.

- Coffee: Wellington’s coffee shops are the best place to try a cup of New Zealand’s outstanding coffee.

- Queenstown’s Wild Hikes: There are plenty of great hikes around Queenstown and in winter it’s a great place to ski, according to the article.
