New Zealand is the ideal place for a short break holiday. If you’re a local checking out more of your own back yard or branching out further across New Zealand to do something new - you’re guaranteed to see things in New Zealand that you won’t find anywhere else in the world.
Auckland is New Zealand’s busiest gateway and whether you’re a visitor or resident, the city is a great stepping off point for a weekend getaway or short break. Within a few hours’ drive you can be relaxing in the beautiful Bay of Islands – not only the birthplace of New Zealand but also the birthplace of New Zealand wine.
If nothing else, it’s worth hopping on a plane and heading to Hawke’s Bay just for the wine and food – but get there and you’ll find there’s a lot more to appreciate in this stunning, sun drenched region on New Zealand’s east coast.
Picturesque Wairarapa with its charming villages and vineyards is just an hour’s drive through scenic countryside over the hill from Wellington and perfectly placed for a short break away from the busy capital city.

While it would take more than a long weekend to do justice to visiting Canterbury - New Zealand’s largest region – there’s a hidden gem just an hour from Christchurch airport that’s ripe for a short stay getaway.
Queenstown is launch pad for the Central Otago experience and gateway to such an enticing region that short stays often become long holidays.
