Australians primed for a winter holiday in the North Island

GEOTHERMAL and volcanic landscape of the Central North Island coupled with glow worm caves and Maori cultural events and cuisine are all unique to New Zealand.

Tourism #NewZealand is leading the development and implementation of a $750,000 marketing campaign which capitalises on Ruapehu, Taupo and Rotorua with spare capacity across accommodation and experiences during the #winter months (Jun-Sep).

The six week promotion showcases the geothermal experiences and landscapes of the central plateau volcanic zone, lakes, hot pools, glow worm caves, National Parks and Māori culture with a snow experience at Whakapapa or Turoa, Mt Ruapehu as part of a wider winter touring holiday.

North Island road trips

ROAD trips showing off large parts of the central and upper North Island are the latest adventures tempting Australians across the ditch.

A partnership between Tourism New Zealand, regional tourism organisations (RTOs) and key trade partners has produced sample itineraries highlighting the attractions centred on and around four main routes.

Tony Saunders, Tourism New Zealand’s Manager, Australia says: “This is about encouraging Australians to explore more of the North Island, to see different places and to travel in the off-peak months. It’s a perfect time to enjoy outdoor holiday experiences.

The four routes being promoted are Twin Coast Discovery Highway between Auckland and Northland, the Pacific Coast Highway taking in the Coromandel and Bay of Plenty, the Thermal Explorer Highway through Rotorua, Hamilton and Waikato and the Volcanic Loop around Ruapehu and Lake Taupō.

Luxury golf in NZ

THE KINLOCH CLUB, #NewZealand’s newest luxury accommodation in a premium golfing destination, has opened on the shores of #Lake Taupo on North Island. 

It has a collection of one bedroom suites and two-bedroom villas, which are alongside the Jack Nicklaus signature #golf course overlooking Lake Taupo – New Zealand’s largest lake and the central geographic feature of this active volcanic region.

The spa specializes in therapeutic sports massage and organic wellness treatments. It has tennis courts, an infinity pool (opening late summer 2016) and a state-of-the-art gym.

Lake Taupo is a mecca for water sports, boating and fishing, mountain biking, and lies within easy reach of winter skiing in Tongariro National Park. 

There is seasonal fly fishing in some of the world’s best trout streams and wild game hunting. The nearby Treetops Estate offers signature eco wilderness experiences, and easy access to the thermal wonders and Maori culture of Rotorua.
