The crash of surf and the wide open spaces of the west’s black-sand beaches and the rush of hidden waterfalls in the rainforest. Palates will be pleased and appetites satisfied here too, whether it’s the taste of a cold craft beer and woodfired pizza on a sunny day, or an antipasto platter paired with the perfect New Zealand wine at a Kumeu vineyard.

"My culture I guess is, one of having been an adventurer most of my life, and I’m currently writing books about those times. So I guess that’s the main contact I have with that. I was born in Lyttleton, the Port of Christchurch back in 1933, and ah, at the age of 12 I entered a classroom and there on the wall was a picture of Captain Scott at the South Pole.
I worked out a plan of how to get there, and every year back in the ‘60s, 1960s, the New Zealand Government invited applications from people to spend a year on Campbell Island which is 400 miles south of Bluff, and I used that as a stepping stone to get to be the leader of Scott Base, and when Sir Edmund Hillary died in 2008, I became the oldest surviving leader, and I’m still that today. So it was a great year in Antarctica and one of the beauties of the modern age is that all of us that were together nearly 50 years ago keep in touch by the internet. So, they’re all around the world now, so that’s a wonderful thing."
