A sneak peak at The National Kiwi Hatchery yesterday delivered a lovely bundle of surprises!

Introducing Rhino - hatched 18 November and developing well (vocals were in check too 👌)

And wee Lankey - freshly hatched 02 December, only a few hours before we arrived 🥰

Blessed for the opportunity to learn even more about Kiwi - our national bird - and to see the great work these amazing humans do. Miharo!

Lastly, a big congratulations to The National Kiwi Hatchery for taking out the Conservation Award at this year's 2021 NZ Tourism Awards 👏👏

A quick visit to Pōneke (our capital city Wellington)... despite the wet, windy weather (sun did come out as were leaving!) the city did not disappoint.
Ngā mihi nui to Adam Taylor Eruera for your assistance with our visit, Wellington Cable Car for a fun start to our day and the fabulous team at Karaka Cafe for your beautiful manaakitanga towards our whānau and the delicious kai!!

Look forward to returning again soon!

Kia ora koutou!

A week of celebrating Te Reo Māori (Māori Language) has begun here in Aotearoa and around the globe.

I thought I'd share this beautiful whakataukī (proverb or pearl of wisdom) in the hope it resonates far & wide.

Kia pai te rā tātou!

The simple pleasures in life are when you stumble across a natural beauty like this in the middle of nowhere!

A talented person took the time (and patience) to weave this putiputi (flower) into the harakeke (flax). Miharo!! (amazing) 👏👏

Long time supporter ... First time member!!

Tourism Export Council of New Zealand thank you for welcoming us into the whānau and for organizing a stellar week for our broken yet forever positive Inbound Industry.
A time of reflection as we celebrate 50 years for our Inbound Tour Operators Coucil, meditate on the inspired korero shared and importantly reconnect with our friends from near and far. To end, FUN times were had by all at the M*A*S*H function (great effort everyone!).

Venture Taranaki thanks for being a stellar host ... our cups were full as we concluded our time with an insiders tour of Govett-Brewster Art Gallery/Len Lye Centre and a hikoi beneath the mighty Taranaki maunga.

Thank you for the fabulous introduction TECNZ.
Bring on the December Symposium and Nelson 2022!!
