Winter is going well here in Queenstown, we have been blessed with weeks of fine weather and the School Holidays are in full swing. Town is busy and the Ski Area's are buzzing with activity. New Zealand has been a popular destination for Australian travellers seeking the allusive white fluffy stuff.

Samantha who runs our Auckland office has been as busy as ever with a successful hosted buyer function at Meetings 2010 and another great Burger King annual conference in Taupo at the end of June.

The team have been exploring all sorts of ways to keep fit through the short cold days of winter. This included hiking up Coronet Peak this morning at day break (photo attached).

We have 2 new members to our team, Emma Beckingsale and Lenore Minty. Watch this space for profiles on them in the next couple of weeks.

Also hot off the press for Queenstown. New restaurants and bars - The Balarat Trading Company, Searle Lane and Social, Vudu Cafe x2, Fishbone. Also Destination Queenstown is busy getting ready for hosting TRENZ next year.
