About NZ

Kia Ora! Welcome!

Welcome to the ultimate site for planning your New Zealand travel - a site rich in information with 5000+ images of our country all linked to the map, facts about the towns, and listings for New Zealand Accommodation, Activities and Attractions.

Come and explore the wonders and delights of New Zealand and turn your dreams into reality. We might be slightly biased, but we think New Zealand is the most beautiful country on earth and the least crowded. Aotearoa (Land of the Long White Cloud) is a long, relatively thin landmass similar in size and/or shape to Great Britain, Colorado or Japan, with a population of only 4 million people. There are two main islands, North and South Islands that are divided by a stretch of Water - The Cook Strait - which can be crossed by ferry or by air.

This spectacularly beautiful landscape is both a traveller’s and a geologist’s dream offering everything from rugged coastlines, stunning sandy beaches, magnificent mountain ranges, glaciers, crystal clear rivers and streams, active volcanoes, thermal wonderlands, deep fiords and lush rainforests. A temperate climate with relatively small seasonal variation makes this an ideal holiday destination. New Zealand has something for everyone, whether you are looking to escape to peace and quiet to relax and rejuvenate; or looking for an adventure playground to satisfy your thirst for an adrenaline inducing experience; then New Zealand is the place to visit.
