Thanks to Caz for this fantastic review!
My partner and I went to visit our friends Charlie and Dianna Shailer who run Shailer’s Bed & Breakfast yesterday for a reunion of a special group we used to attend, while there I decided to do research on the accessibility of the house so I took my wheelchair […]

Well gosh, what an odd place the Coffee Club is. I think it’s trying to put style back into the increasingly-commercialised world of coffee chains, but it’s something which will take a bit of getting used to. What am I talking about, you ask? Read on, and find out…

Welcome back everyone, I hope your festive season was full of silly times and fun people, I know mine was! I thought I’d start 2008’s blogging adventure off with a bit of surprising and positive news, especially if you’re someone who frequents Eden Park.

Last week I flicked an email off to the people at NZ’s newest airline, Pacific Blue, letting them know of the fantastic feedback submitted by one of our blog readers. They had this to say:
Dear Red,
Thank you for taking the time to email us with the fantastic compliments you came across on the internet. Please […]

Wow! That’s what I thought when I stumbled across Henderson’s brand new transport centre and council buildings the other day. I’m not often in West Auckland so I thought I might as well take some snaps. To check out the pictures now, click through to go the gallery section! Anyway as you can see from […]

This fantastic review was submitted by John, who is a tetraplegic and uses a manual wheelchair.
A recent return trip from Auckland to Wellington proved to be a pleasant trouble-free experience. The booking (which must be done by telephone at internet discount rates) was well handled and a wide range of questions were covered to save […]
