‘Cause if you didn’t ‘gram it, you didn’t do it.
Whether it’s a weekend away with the girls or a romantic retreat with bae, the two have one thing in common: loads of Insta-worthy snap opportunities.
There is also, of course, the indulgence of sitting back and relaxing, scoping out a foodie spot, or hitting places you haven’t before. But most importantly, it’s about putting your #boyfriendofinstagram to good use and making sure that the girls get that best lighting possible, period.
If you’re anything like the rest of us and love a good snap, getting the ultimate ‘gram from your accommodation alone is a bonus, because you’ve got to get your money’s worth from it, right?
We’ve found the diamonds in the rough and compiled a list of getaways (you won’t believe are just outside of Auckland) with snappable backdrops begging to be used for your next selfie.
