Whether you're making the long-awaited journey back home, dropping by to visit friends and family, or simply enjoying a holiday this side of the ditch, local brewpub Churly's thinks that you should start your Auckland visit with some craft beer and a nose-to-tail feast.

With the long-discussed trans-Tasman travel bubble now open, the Dominion Road establishment is offering to do the heavy lifting and get your visit off to a cracking start. Don't even bother calling mum; the all-inclusive Straight to Churly's experience starts with an airport pick-up (within reasonable daylight hours) from the Chury's crew before you're taken straight to craft beer nirvana.

From there you'll be served the beer of your choice from the Behemoth Brewing range, before heading off on a brewery tour and selecting the frothy pours for your next tasting paddle. The $200 per person package then proceeds with a full nose-to-tail feast from Churly's butchery focused kitchen. The package can be booked from 27 April onwards — you'll just need at least two keen travellers in your party and to allow for two days notice before arriving in New Zealand.
