Noted: The Capital According to Oliver, Laila, Anouk, Ali & Aman

Pōneke

— May 4, 2026 —

Aotearoa's often overlooked capital city doesn't need to prove itself; but just in case, we're here to show you it's the best.

The list of reasons why writes itself: JJ's pub quiz, Cuba Street, Lipstick tearing it up at San Fran. Oh, and Ali only touched down a few months back and already couldn't imagine being anywhere else — honestly, same.

We'll just top it off by saying, anywhere five people this cool choose to call home is somewhere worth paying attention to. Say hi to Oliver, Laila, Anouk, Ali & Aman in the gallery above.
