Places
Taupo
Taupo is nestled on the northern shores of New Zealand’s largest lake, Lake Taupo, surrounded by stunning volcanoes, bush clad mountains and a spectacular landscape. Cafes and restaurants in Taupo overlook the lake, and there is a good variety of retail therapy available. Some of the best trout fishing in the world has international anglers flocking to the area, which is also a great base for visitors wanting to take part in other sporting activities, whether land or water-based.
Auckland
If you can, picture the view from the top of the Sky Tower - that's Auckland. Everything you can see on the clearest of days, from Great Barrier Island in the east to where the Waitakere Ranges meet the surf beaches out west. North, you'll just make out Matakana's wine country. South lies bustling Manukau, with its own ruggedly spectacular harbour, then the Hunua Ranges and the golden beaches of the Clevedon coast. Anywhere you can see, you can be in about 45 minutes.
Coromandel Peninsula
Hidden hot pools, clear ocean waters, pristine native bush and lively eateries make this region one of our favourite holiday playgrounds.
Manawatu
The Manawatu region stretches from the Tasman Sea below Wanganui in the south to the southern part of Tongariro National Park in the north.
Northland
Northland is a subtropical paradise and the ultimate destination; the place for laidback adventures and quiet relaxation.
Marlborough
The Marlborough Sounds is like a giant maze of deep waterways that forge inland for almost 40km
