Dive deep into New Zealand Culture

July 23, 2019 by Rosemary

Koru-enterprises-Maori-woman

Let Koru Enterprises organise your New Zealand trip! Louise Booth created Koru Enterprises whilst living in Brisbane, Australia. She was homesick for her native country of Aotearoa, New Zealand, and created an online boutique NZ tour and artisan gift e-commerce company. Arriving back home in 2018, I based myself in the stunning Hawke’s Bay region, close to where my mum was born in Dannevirke. This is the perfect base to take personalised … [Read more...]

New Zealand – don’t hire a campervan

January 18, 2019 by Rosemary

A lot of visitors to New Zealand hire a campervan as a great way to get around, but in doing so they are missing out on one of the magic things about New Zealanders - their hospitality. Don't Miss out on a Taste of Kiwi Hospitality... If you must hire a campervan - my suggestion is hire it in the South Island - from Christchurch and return. There are lots of flights in and out of Christchurch, even some international ones, and it saves you … [Read more...]

What is a Bach?

January 14, 2019 by Rosemary

A Bach is a peculiarly New Zealand word to describe a rustic holiday home.  It can be in the mountains or by the beach or lake.  It is definitely never in suburbia.  Rosemary is a New Zealander who loves Baches and what they represent Five things you should know about NZ Baches... 1. A Bach is rustic – by this I mean they usually look like they could do with some repairs, or a paint, the garden is often non existent or a bit overgrown.  … [Read more...]

Getting around in New Zealand and Australia – instead of a car – try a train or fly

June 3, 2018 by Rosemary

Many people coming to New Zealand or Australia want to hire a campervan to do their whole trip. My suggestions is think in a more varied way flying between some centres, catching a train or bus, or hiring a small car.  New Zealand suggestions For your international flights - try flying into Auckland and out of Christchurch or vice versa instead of in and out of Auckland Hire a car to drive north of Auckland - not many tourists make time … [Read more...]

May 21, 2018 by Rosemary

Lake Tekapo Cycle New Zealand on Alps to Ocean

For many years doing one of the New Zealand Great Walks was on everyone's bucket list.  Now you can do a Great Ride - Cycle New Zealand! I have never met anyone who did not have New Zealand on their bucket list - even those of us who live here have more of New Zealand they want to see.  And one of the great features is our scenery - in a small country we have everything from Glaciers to hot pools, beaches to lakes, sand dunes to … [Read more...]

June 25, 2017 by Rosemary

You may want to go to a tranquil, unpopulated area for rest and relaxation. Perhaps indulging in gourmet food and wine is your idea of heaven. You may even be thrillseeker and crave adventure and adrenalin rushes. Whatever your dream getaway, the areas outside of New Zealand’s main cities are the … [Read more...]

New Zealand With the Girls: My Backpacking Tour Experience

May 3, 2017 by Rosemary

In July 2015, I got tired of having New Zealand holiday pictures popping all over my Facebook feed and leaving me salivating. I called two of my female friends and asked them what they thought about a month-long backpacking trip to New Zealand. They got on board with the idea fairly quickly, but I was reminded of the costs. We resolved to save a bit more for the trip and go in 2016. We obviously didn’t expect the Pound blast that happened … [Read more...]

New Zealand Awaits – Gay and Lesbian Travel

July 30, 2015 by Rosemary

New Zealand awaits

In my experience most people who do not live in New Zealand, definitely want to visit, they do not need convincing, rather they need an excuse, and enticement.  For Gay and Lesbian travelers, such an enticement has just gone online in the form of New Zealand Awaits. Lonely Planet’s top travel lists for 2015 rated New Zealand as one of the most “inclusive and progressive” gay-friendly travel destinations on the planet, second only to Denmark. … [Read more...]
