Taupo
Taupo is an adventure wonderland set on the shores of New Zealand's
largest lake and fringed with geo-thermal activity. Jetboating
and fishing are popular drawcards to the area.
Napier
The Pacific Ocean forms a sparkling backdrop for the Hawke's
Bay's famous vineyards which produce internationally-renowned
wines. Art Deco and Spanish Mission architecture in Napier create
the perfect atmosphere for al fresco dining.
Wellington
New Zealand's Capital City is Wellington, perched on a spectacular
harbour and surrounded by green hills. Cafes, clubs and culture
comfortably mingle with politics and the arts. More cafes, restaurants
and bars per capita of population than New York City. |
