Busy & comfy in New Zealand

SOMETHING TO DO

In Southland, South Island, Southern Discoveries’ new one-hour Te Anau Farm Tour shows guests what life on the land is like. The farm tour includes friendly animals, watching sheepdogs work and a Kiwi-style morning tea. It combines with a two-hour Milford Sound Nature Cruise. It is from NZ$315 per person for the three-hour combination of the two. southerndiscoveries.co.nz/milford-sound/cruises/farm-tour-milford-sound-nature-cruise/

SOMEWHERE TO STAY

SOUTH ISLAND On the west coast, in the township of Okarito, Te Wa Whakata is now open, with seven cabins by the Okarito lagoon. This is the biggest untouched wetland in New Zealand, and guests are right in it.

NORTH ISLAND In Auckland, the Radisson RED hotel is due to open later this year, with 325 rooms and what will be the city’s biggest rooftop bar, called Reattachable Rooftop.
