Just finished a summer vacation whirlwind family catch-up tor of the southern part of New Zealand (my home-land) with my three kids, James Rowena and Katherine.
Queenstown
Five Rivers Retreat
My niece Paula and her husband Roger put us up for a few nights in their gorgeous farm house. This is just 1 hour from Queenstown and other major attractions and highly recommend them to any travelers. See their website.
