Take an adrenaline-pumping heli-ski down virgin powder ridges in spectacular Queenstown.

Yes, it is spectacular!

Take your tastebuds on a cycle tour through Central Otago, stopping at any of the many wineries, restaurants and cafes along the way.

Stay in a fancy shack hideaway or how about a luxury villa or a sporting ranch that specialises in fishing, hunting and horseback riding? It could be beachfront property or a country house in the vineyards? Whichever you choose, your trip will be enhanced by the places you'll call home while you're here.
