Enjoy the beauty of New Zealand’s North Island

When you think of New Zealand, you might think of the skiing, snow and slopes of the South Island during the winter.

But you might not have experienced the natural beauty of the North Island come the warmer months.

With Jetstar now operating flights three times each week (Tuesday, Friday, Sunday), year round between the Sunshine Coast and Auckland, we’re here to tell you why a warm escape across the ditch should be your next holiday.

Start your journey in the heart of Auckland’s bustling CBD, where the Britomart precinct is designed to reflect the unique character of surrounding heritage buildings. The Hotel Britomart is New Zealand’s first 5 Green Star Hotel, and with superb views of the nearby harbour, the Britomart precinct is home to world-class dining and bars.

After you’ve checked into your hotel, plan your day trip to Waiheke Island (also known as Wine Island). The second-largest island in the Hauraki Gulf, a 40-minute ferry from Auckland’s CBD, Waiheke is home to an array of world-class vineyards, olive groves and stunning beaches. Take a tour with Fullers360, where you can pick and choose your adventure with their hop-on-hop-off service.

Upon your return to the mainland, head for a stroll along the Viaduct Harbour where choosing dinner close by will be the toughest choice of your trip. Our recommendations include Onslow, Ahi., and kingi, all serving up some of New Zealand’s finest and freshest produce.
