If you happen to be passing the Matterhorn in downtown Wellington (the website alone is beyond average) it might be worth your while stopping in for a bite. Wellington's popular bar on Cuba Street has just been voted best restaurant in the..

The recent stormy weather that has hit New Zealand is atypical of the weather that normally characterises kiwi winters - where chilly nights often give way to bright, crisp days. Winter really is a beautiful time of year in New Zealand. As..

Having just watched the video of a friend's recent skydiving exploits, I'm reminded of how much (curiously) I really want to try this activity for myself. Some years ago I watched similar footage of another friend taking the plunge in Taup..

» Narnia or New Zealand?
25/06/08 16:03 from newzealand

In February this year we sent Ben Fogle to New Zealand to check out some of the glorious sights and fun activities on offer. Not only did he have perfect weather during his 9 days , but he also managed to pack in some fantastic experiences..

The iconic national bird of New Zealand is a little cutie and none more so that Hupai, the 1000th chick to be hatched as part of the Bank of New Zealand initiative Operation Nest Egg launched in 1994 in an effort to counter disturbing stat..

I saw my first trailer for the second Narnia film at the weekend, which was timely given that my conversation only moments before had speculated what was going on with this film. Prince Caspian as this film is subtitled does look good. Loa..
