Over the hills and through the Pass on KiwiRail

March 19, 2023 Todd DeFeo Hot Takes

New Zealand truly is a beautiful place to visit. And one of the best ways to see it is by train.

The TranzAlpine whisks passengers from Christchurch and takes them through a rugged but scenic mountain landscape.

The open-air viewing car is the best “seat” in the house. Except when they close it for an 8-plus km tunnel.

A flight at Flight

You know what’s better than a flat white in Wellington? A flight of flat whites in Wellington. And the best place for that is at Flight Roasters’ Hanger. Their original blend, the Bomber, is exquisite. The caramel notes cuts through the milk perfectly to give this kiwi invention a creamy, velvety texture.
