New Zealand Regions
Any analysis of this country's regions will be either academic or subjective. This one is unashamedly subjective and open to constant improvement. Keeping abreast of everything wonderful and new which makes its appearance is impossible. It's a particularly enjoyable part of our job, but time and money - sadly - are not...
Regionen Neuseelands
Will man die verschiedenen Regionen Neuseelands charakterisieren, kann man das entweder von einem akademischen oder persönlichen Standpunkt aus. Wir bevorzugen hier ganz klar unsere subjektive Einschätzung. Immer auf dem neuesten Stand der Dinge zu bleiben, ist auch bei einem so kleinen Land wie unserem nahezu unmöglich. Wir versuchen...

Norden der Südinsel
Wir empfehlen allen Neuseelandbesuchern einige Tage in dieser Region mit den traumhaft schönen Marlborough Sounds (Fjorde), den Weingütern in Blenheim, der sonnigen Künstlerenklave Nelson und dem Abel Tasman National Park.
