Audley in Wellington and Wairarapa
The Wairarapa region epitomises the rural lifestyle that forms New Zealand’s international image. Rolling hillocks rise and fall as you journey south, and placed discreetly amongst them you will find the famous wineries of Martinborough. With over three million sheep in a 16 kilometre radius of Masterton, one begins to see why New Zealand is so well recognised as a leading wool and lamb exporter.
Further south is the beating heart of the country and the nation’s vibrant capital, Wellington. By taking the time to scratch the surface, you will soon see how the New Zealand government is so strongly shaped by the liberal setting in which it exists. Anything goes in the picture-book city, and locals pride themselves on their café culture, stylish bars and host of art galleries. Located at the most southeastern tip of the North Island, the capital city is strategically placed, linking the two major islands.
