If the hike kicks off with a suspension bridge, chances are it's a goodie ✨

We'd guess that nearly EVERYONE has a mischievous kea story. These wily alpine parrots are always getting up to something (but we love them for it). What's your kea story?

There’s nothing better than a family ski holiday. Seeing the kids take their first turns, playing in the snow and experiencing the magic of the mountains is priceless ✨

But if you haven’t done it before, a ski holiday with the little ones can seem daunting. But fear not! Because we’ve put together the ultimate checklist so that you can have your ducks in a row before taking on the holiday 👪 Link in bio

Golden hour swims ✨

📷 Picture this. You wake up at 2am, drive to the trailhead, flick on your head torch and begin the long slog upwards. It’s no luxurious feat, but you know it’ll all be worth it to get the sunrise shot at the top of the mountain. This is why so many come to New Zealand – punishing hikes rewarded with incredible 360 views.

The problem is that social media can directly fuel over tourism and each photo has the power to draw more visitors to a particular location.

So what can we do to help protect this place? Link in bio.

As diverse as Wānaka’s businesses are, there’s a defining thread: a steadfast commitment to sustainability and respect for celebrating whenua, the land we call home 🌱

Set in the lush, rolling hills of Glendhu Bay, with Mt Aspiring National Park providing an epic backdrop, one of the businesses at the forefront of this movement is Bike Glendhu.

We sat down with Bike Glendhu’s manager Charlie Cochrane, to chat through their company vision, regenerative tourism, and how this approach is driving their business to new heights 🚴Read the blog, link in bio.

In this blog, we’ll explore how Carmen, inspired by a love for her community and a desire to solve the issue of worker accommodation, founded the Workforce Accommodation Network, helping workers find their place in Lake Wānaka. Link in bio.
