New Zealand | Wharekauhau
Today we're headed back to New Zealand to uncover a hidden gem in the Wellington region. This southernmost part of the North Island is known for its elegant villages, boutique wineries, rural farmlands.
My guest today is Richard Rooney, the GM of luxury lodge Wharekauhau. The lodge is set right on the banks of Palliser Bay and brings together all the elements of old New Zealand. The miles of rugged coastline and the working sheep farm will take you back to simpler times and remind you what's good about life.
Richard and I talk about everything from unique wine tastings, to offroading adventures, to enjoying the amazing food right out of the sea.
