A sweet little hub in one of the most enjoyable parts of the world.
I went to New Zealand excited to spend time in its gorgeous outdoor landscapes. Between Hunt For The Wilderpeople and Lord of the Rings, I expected nature to be a big draw.
One of my favorite aspects of the city was how easy it was to get around, keeping adventure in easy access. From our hotel right at the edge of the Botanical Garden, we were able to walk to the center of town in under ten minutes.
