NEW ZEALAND – Aotearoa (land of the long white cloud)
New Zealand is made up of 2 large islands, the North Island, South Island and numerous smaller islands. With a rich history of both Maori and European culture it makes for a fascinating visit. So much to see and experience from the Bay of Islands in the north to ski fields in the south and so much in between.
North Island
Sail around the Bay of Islands on tall ships, swim with dolphins, walk through Puketi Kauri Forest and hug a 2,000 year old tree. Sand board along 90 mile beach, climb sand dunes and dig for pipis.
Auckland is New Zealand’s largest city – sophisticated with fine dining and local wineries. Cruise the harbour on a yacht or visit the beaches on the west coast with its rugged coastline, large surf and black sand.
Rotorua – with bubbling mud pools, clouds of steam and natural hot springs, perfect for bathing and relaxing in, Rotorua is full of surprises. Experience Maori culture, hospitality and food - try a hangi feast cooked in the steaming ground or take a tour of an authentic pre-European village.
Gisborne is the first city in the world to see the sun each day.
South Island
Nelson – “One of the sunniest cities in New Zealand, Nelson buzzes with creative energy. Enjoy the local art and discover culinary talent at the restaurants”. If adventure is the way you want to go, there is the opportunity to go skydiving, rock climbing, 4WD biking, horse treks, sailing charters and water fun at the excellent beaches.
Queenstown - In winter, scenery-packed Queenstown is a base for skiers and snowboarders. At other times of the year, it's a place for adventure and indulgence. Beautifully rugged, with scenery is “to die for” and for the sophisticated traveler – you will not be disappointed. Oh check out on Luxe Houses website “Jagged Edge” wow!!
Southland this rugged coast is home of the famous Bluff oysters. Invercargill is New Zealand’s southernmost city has plenty of character and much to see. Hop aboard a ferry for a trip to Stewart Island or catch a Tiger Moth in Gore and see the sights.
