IT’S WINTER IN NEW ZEALAND

Autumn/Fall is quickly fading as the trees shed their beautiful colours to prepare for the winter to come. Snow has arrived in both the North and South Islands and the ski fields are open and ready for a great season.

 

This is a great time to visit the little seaside township of Kaikoura as the fur seals arrive for the winter. Sunning themselves on the rocks while their pups frolic in nearby streams, racing around like otters and terrifying the ducks as they chase them from the water.

 

We would love to introduce you to four of our luxury hotels and lodges in Kaikoura, Queenstown, Wanaka and Oamaru
