Megan Gale's Top 5 places to visit in New Zealand


Aussie model Megan Gale is the ambassador for Tourism New Zealand’s cycling campaign. With her Māori heritage, Megan is the perfect tour guide for the breathtakingly beautiful country. Here she shares her must-see spots in New Zealand.

1. Head to Waiheke Island for a dreamy weekend getaway.

2. Don't miss Wellington! It's known for its quirky designers and seriously good coffee stops.

3. I’m a big foodie so Hawkes Bay for its art deco streets, gentle cycle trails and amazing vineyard destinations.

4. Christchurch. There’s so many new and innovative places to explore, including Roots (NZ’s Top Restaurant which only caters for 10 tables). Everything is either foraged or locally sourced.

5. Wanaka for its romantic outdoor landscapes and life changing pinot. In autumn the green, gold and red colours are spectacular.
