100% Pure New Zealand

June 2, 2024

Just three hours’ from Sydney – and Australia’s eastern seaboard – you’ll find the ultimate winter holiday destination: New Zealand!

With a variety of adventures across both the North Island and the South Island, there really is something for everyone. From skiing on Mt Hutt’s world-class slopes to exploring the charming streets of Christchurch and indulging in delicious food, there’s a huge range of activities in this winter wonderland.

Ōtautahi, Christchurch is the perfect base to discover the city’s bustling hospitality scene, street art, cutting edge architecture and some of the oldest buildings in New Zealand. Friendly local operators and tour guides are ready to welcome visitors with the manaakitanga (a Māori expression of generosity and hospitality). A Kai Safari walking food tour offers delicious dining experiences and a chance to connect with local culture and Māori storytelling.

The hot pools at He Puna Taimoana Sunrise Soak are the best way to start the day, before turning things up a notch and speeding through river canyons and gorges with Alpine Jet Thrills. The adrenaline rushes don’t stop there with the Christchurch Adventure Park home to New Zealand’s longest Zipline.

Just 90mins drive from Christchurch is Mt Hutt – one of the largest ski resorts in New Zealand and the best and freshest natural snow around. Their extensive facilities and packages can cater to beginners as well as the most experienced skiers and snowboarders.

The mix of exciting activities, cultural experiences, and stunning landscapes make New Zealand a must-visit winter destination. Whether you’re a thrill-seeker or food enthusiast – Aotearoa, New Zealand, or “New Ski-Land” truly offers the perfect winter escape.
