(08) — About
A slow guide
to a small country.
(Manifesto)
I Love New Zealand is 100% New Zealand owned and operated — a curated guide to Aotearoa, made by locals who love its quietest corners.
We started as a shared notebook: places we'd send our friends to, lodges we wanted to keep secret, the cafés where the barista knew the farmer. Today it's a publication and discovery platform — half travel magazine, half quiet directory of the country's most considered places to stay, eat, drink and wander.
Everything here is hand-picked. No pay-to-play rankings, no sponsored top tens. Just a single criterion — would we send the person we love most across the world to find this?
(01)
New Zealand owned
A Kiwi-run, Kiwi-staffed independent business. Our editors, photographers and developers all live and work in Aotearoa — and the businesses we feature are local too.
(02)
Editorially honest
No pay-to-rank. No sponsored top-tens dressed up as editorial. Featured operators are chosen on merit and reviewed by our team before they appear.
(03)
Manaakitanga first
We're guided by the Māori value of manaakitanga — hospitality, respect and care for visitors. We want every reader to leave loving the country as much as we do.
