All Work and No Play...

Most people in New Zealand live within half an hour’s drive of the coast, so swimming, boating, diving and fishing are almost national pastimes.

•  There are 14 national parks and reserves where you can enjoy some of the world’s most breathtaking bush walks.
•  In winter, 10 commercial ski fields operate and numerous club fields provide inexpensive yet challenging skiing, heli-skiing and snowboarding.
•  There are more golf courses per capita than anywhere else in the world.
•  The city and regional councils provide extensive, well-kept playgrounds, swimming pools and other recreational facilities.
•  On Saturdays, parks throughout the country host organised team sports like, rugby, netball, soccer, cricket and hockey.
