It recently came to my attention that golf is the most popular participation sport played by men in New Zealand, and second most popular with women (closely behind netball). Put simply - we love it. Home to a stunning array of courses set in incredible locations (the highest number per capita in the world), we celebrate golf this Spring edition and welcome on board Kiwi golf professional Greg Turner as our golf writer. Join Greg, as he guides us through a virtual golf tour of New Zealand.
Approximately 14,000km of coastline makes a charter cruise another fine way to acquaint yourself with this breathtaking country. Boat access affords a different perspective, and entry to stunning and remote locations. Patti Brown explores some of the many ways to enjoy our coastal splendour in Cruise NZ.
Region by region, we journey through New Zealand. Whether you're seeking thrill or tranquillity, or somewhere in between, it's all here.

Our magazine is evolving! Over the last couple of editions, we
have witnessed a slick new look being unrolled, and increased
diversity of coverage in all things related to travel in this
beautiful country. Read on now as we reveal New Zealand in
all its winter glory.

I’ve been thinking about how travel marks transitions in our
lives. We set off on these trips to be transformed. As Lyn
Cheyne discovers in “Puanga, a spiritual celebration”, these
travels may not visibly change you, but they can change how
you feel, how you think.

Snow fueled adventures abound - “Uncharted Territory” is a
first-hand account sharing the rush of heli skiing. Rosemary
Neilson’s Winter Sports feature details all you need to know
to have a memorable ski holiday anywhere in New Zealand.
I find the sport of Snow Kiting particularly intriguing – it’s
similar to Kite Surfing, but on snow!

Slice of Heaven is exactly that; an intimate look at two of New
Zealand’s premiere luxury lodges, Terrace Downs and Poronui
Lodge. Wish list, bucket list, call it what you like, just put a stay
at either of these destinations on yours and make it happen.
Discover The Lost Spring, in Coromandel - a magical and
secluded retreat that combines the restorative powers of
nature’s own geo-thermal hot springs with modern spa
culture. Yes please!

Head to Marlborough for an interesting read on the Karearea,
New Zealand’s only endemic bird of prey, and the efforts of
the Marlborough Falcon Trust to ensure the continuation of
this magnificent but dwindling species.

It may be winter, but there’s more than snow on offer. 90 Mile
Beach is home to some of the best sand dune riding you could
ever hope for. Join Patti Brown in Northland and find out why
it’s such a hot spot year round.

It’s fair to say, that any time of year is a good time to visit
New Zealand.

Welcome to our autumn edition as we anticipate the changing colours of our landscapes and the onset of cooler days. Autumn is a temperate and wonderful time of the year to visit new destinations around New Zealand or Middle-Earth as we affectionately have become known as since the Lord of the Rings Trilogy.

Take an in-depth look at the impact New Zealand’s involvement in the Rings Trilogy has had on tourism nationwide in our Middle-Earth feature. Travel region by region and learn of all the exciting and fun ventures ingenious Kiwis have created capturing the spirit of the Trilogy beautifully from spending the night in an authentic earth house, guided tours of the Hobbiton movie set, scenic flights, horse trekking and so much more.

The origins of today’s jet boat are explored highlighting the innovative and inventive minds of CWF (Bill) Hamilton and George Davison as they created and honed the waterjet design that is now synonymous with jet boating. You will be inspired to go on a wild ride of your own as you read the exciting reportage from several keen folk who put their hands up to bring us their jet boat experiences. Slice of Heaven turns the spotlight on the picks of North and South Islands’ luxury lodges and the extraordinary experiences they offer to those seeking something special.

You will find yourself seduced by the singular charms of Treetops Lodge & Estate in Rotorua and the secluded Raetihi Lodge in the Marlborough Sounds. Join our writers as they travel from Fiordland through to Northland to bring you their personal experiences of the highlights unique to each region. Travelling to these regions you will find the writers’ recommendations are an excellent starting point when planning your itinerary. Plenty to see and do!

Welcome to our summer edition as we say goodbye to
spring with its typically changeable weather and say hello
to a long hot summer. The festive season is my favourite
time of the year and a great time to be out and about
exploring all New Zealand has on offer.
In this edition Heather Hopeta takes a look at possibly our
fastest growing tourism market: our unique Maori culture.
Journey with Heather as she visits many of New Zealand’s
innovative and exciting Maori tourism enterprises.
Slice of Heaven turns the spotlight on the very best in
accommodation available on the East Coast of the South
Island; from luxurious to one of a kind.
Sky High explores the myriad adventure activities on-tap in
Aotearoa. Who knew there were so many ways to get Sky
High? From scenic flights, gliding, skydiving, ballooning and
scenic helicopter flights to a singular experience flying in a
Soviet jet plane!
Our own intrepid Chris McPhee faces his greatest fear to
bring us his own up close and personal shark experience.
From Fiordland to Northland read stories sharing genuine
personal experiences highlighting regional produce, wines,
activities and accommodation. They are a great read and
prove that New Zealand definitely has something to satisfy
everyone from thrill-seekers to sight-seers and everyone in
between!
So, what are you waiting for? Go explore, experience and
delight in our wonderful New Zealand!

Our young women are excelling at present with Lorde
winning Grammys. We featured her back in Autumn. Now
it’s our young 17 year old professional golfer Lydia Ko. Steve
Khatib takes a look at this young phenomena and how she
is already picking up cheques in excess of a million dollars
by winning against the most seasoned pros.
Alasdair Thomson gives us an inside view into water sports
around New Zealand both the sitting and standing varieties.
Enjoy his guide to some of the best places in New Zealand
to board and paddle.
Alan Brady the founding Father of Wine in the Central
Otago region provides us with how he found that
the region lent itself to successful wine growing. This
pioneering feat led to the revered Pinot Noir.
The big “buzz” in this edition is a flight with Sir Richard
“Hannibal” Hayes into an untouched part of our beautiful
country. “Knight Flying” was one of my most memorable
travel experiences.

If anything has impressed me in the travel industry it has to
be the chance to drive a brand new Audi on the ice-testing
track at the Southern Hemisphere Testing Grounds in the
Cardrona Valley. Read about this exciting place and the
opportunity you have to do something very different.
Virtually pioneered by pilots and skiers in New Zealand,
heli-skiing is sought by advanced skiers and boarders as
the ultimate mountain “buzz”. Mark Sedon, one of New
Zealand’s most experienced mountain men, takes us on a
downhill journey of spectacular proportion. Along with an
overall mountain winter story we have loads of snow and
ice in this edition.
A piece on Parnell - one of New Zealand’s first boutique
shopping areas - gives Auckland-bound travellers an insight
into this beautiful precinct.
Steve Khatib our roving golf editor plays some of the best
courses Auckland has to offer and enjoys a few days in “the
big Apple”. Auckland is experiencing record inbound visitors
and is obviously providing great accommodation, activities
and events that are satisfying these travellers.
I had a wonderful weekend on Stewart Island recently
followed by another incredible experience at Mt Cook.
Read these stories in the regional sections along with other
interesting accounts our travel writers have experienced.
Enjoy our fascinating country, culture and our spectacular
scenery. Give yourself plenty of time as we offer so many
options. It really is a big small country.
