The real New Zealand

New Zealand sometimes seems more reminiscent of Europe than a South Seas island. Known by Maori as Te Wai Pounamu (Water of Greenstone), the South Island is a place of dramatic fjords, snow-capped peaks, dense green forests, steep sided valleys,
golden hills and fertile plains.











The charming main city of Christchurch is the gateway for many to this extraordinary country, whilst deep among the peaks of the Southern Alps, Queenstown is the heartland of adventure. In contrast, Otago is less well trodden by tourists yet this sparsely populated region of beautiful rivers and lakes, plus rolling country and rugged coast, offers a glimpse of the real New Zealand. Dunedin, Otago’s capital, is New Zealand’s oldest city, yet with prestigious Otago University, it supports a youthful, vibrant community.
