  • "Taupō is a quiet achiever on the North Island with just about every activity imaginable. Cruise on the lake, do a jet boat trip on the Waikato River and my special tip – do as the locals do and soak in the natural hot springs at the Otumuheke Stream.”

  • "Lovers of all things snow flock to Queenstown, with four world-class resorts to choose from. Ski or snowboard at Coronet Peak or The Remarkables, which are closest to town, or head over the Crown Range to Cardrona and Treble Cone. The choice of luxury accommodation and excellent restaurants in Queenstown is almost as wide as the array of things to do and see, from wine tasting to bungee jumping and everything in between.”
