While we love to diss their accents and make bad sheep jokes, the land of the Kiwi is blessed with scenery so other worldly that you’d think you were on the set of a Lord of the Rings film.

For a snow or adventure sports holiday NZ also comes up trumps for affordability and quality. For those less enthused, there is tranquility aplenty and hiking (the popular trails protected by over crowding). There’s a gaggle of glaciers to go ga-ga over, so if you are ever going to splash out on a heli ride – this is probably the place.

The Maori, indigenous, culture has been maintained, preserved and respected better than...anywhere. You’ll also find the live music scene worth a look and if you are really, really desperate check out the national obsession, rugby. Best of all at the end of everyday you can indulge in a tipple of a world acclaimed Sauvignon Blanc or ale at one of the plethora of microbreweries, while munching on some world class grub? Choice bro, eh?
