Diving Option - Northland NZ

by Kaikoura

One hole golf on an island in the lake

by SLLiew

This is a unique attraction of an man-made island near the shore of Lake Taupo with a golf hole. There is a sign challenging any golfer to do a hole-one stroke. Thought it was rather unique that worth bring attention to if you are in the neighborhood.

by SLLiew

Go to the Ski Resort of Mt. Repheu in North Island. There are ski slopes or tobagooning or just building snowmen or throwing snowballs for family and kids.Skiing period in New Zealand is during June to September as winter is reverse in the Southern hemisphere.
