Skoda Kodiaq

Our Volvo XC40 have been super-popular but we realise that they're just not big enough if you're travelling with young kids and have heaps of luggage. This is where the Skoda Kodiaq excels: it's got comfortable seating for seven and a huge boot space. Adaptive cruise control, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, ISOFIX attachment points for car seats, and good fuel economy.

About Little Bit Fancy.

We travel New Zealand for work and have been keeping a list of the places we love. For years we've been sharing these recommendations with friends, and then someone said "You should make a website!" so here we are. We've called the website "Little Bit Fancy" because that's what we enjoy, nothing crazy-super-posh ... just good, honest places that are consistently good. More about us.

Some of our favourite places.
