NEW ZEALAND “The Ultimate Holiday Planner”
Kia Ora, Nau Mai Haere Mai
Kiwi, native to New Zealand
New Zealand is the last of all the land masses to
be discovered and thereby the youngest country
on this planet. It can be compared in size to Great
Britain or Japan, but with only 4.2 million people it
is also one of the least crowded countries on earth!
New Zealand’s climate moves through 4 different seasons during the
year, so each season offers all travellers something different. Yet the
overall temperature throughout the year only varies from a low of around
zero degrees in winter to highs of around 30 degrees Celsius in summer.
Therefore whilst the summer months of November to March are the most
popular time to visit, the other seasons are equally enjoyable times to visit.
From those requiring peace, relaxation and rejuvenation to those
seeking thrills and adventures, New Zealand is the perfect destination for
everyone!
