New Zealand holidays
Made up of two rather remote islands (and many smaller ones), New Zealand is one of the world’s greatest tourist hotspots thanks to incredible scenery, high octane adventures, warm and friendly people, a pleasant climate, award-winning wines and cultural diversity .... all wrapped up in a package the size of Great Britain.
New Zealand’s 29 regions stretch more than 990 miles across two main islands – North Island and South Island, along with the lesser known Stewart Island in the south. Each destination is distinctive in character and, with the country being so compact, you can easily pack several into your holiday.
North Island has a spine of mountain ranges flanked on either side by gently rolling farmland, whilst the central area is a volcanic plateau...
