👏👏 A HUGE congratulations to Remarkable Theatre on your incredibly successful opening night of `A Relatively Uneventful Evening'! Despite the name, the show was anything but uneventful. We all laughed our way throughout the production and were thoroughly entertained! All the very best for the rest of the season! 🤩🤩

Queenstown- make sure you get tickets to see this show! It's a very slick and clever production, and clearly an immense amount of work has gone into it. You won't be disappointed!

Last week Niki and Tori had the pleasure of attending the Wakatipu High School Foundation's annual `Winter Feast' dinner to help raise funds for this awesome foundation. Here they are pictured with Wakatipu High School Principal Oded Nathan.

The WHSF's vision is that all WHS students are enabled to meet their potential in a supportive and well-resourced environment, because a community with an excelling school develops and attracts excellent individuals, families, and businesses and contributes to the incredible lifestyle we all cherish in the Wakatipu Basin.

We are super proud to have been Gold Partners of the WHSF for the past few years. With past, present and future students in our own xtravel whanau, we know the value of supporting the future of our beautiful home of Queenstown, and we can't think of a better way to support local than to support the future of our local community.

At xtravel we strongly believe that the business community has a huge role to play in building and nurturing a community. If you'd like to know more about the work that Wakatipu High School Foundation does, let us know and we'd be happy to share our experience of support.
