I am geeking out hard.
For most this pukapuka would be very dense work to read.
But I am lapping it up page for page.
There is nothing better than getting stuck into something which fascinates you.

For me it is learning about how the indigenous people of this area lived. Their deep, reciprocal relationship with the whenua and how they created a life in balance with the elements.

Plus I just love learning the best fishing, gathering, building, crafting, cooking, and medicinal methods suited to this area and the resources at hand. Through a Māori lens the knowledge is deep and thorough.

Tika.

Thanks for the book loan Montessori Children's House Wānaka.

Are you a seasoned snow sport enthusiast, or maybe just curious about sliding down a mountain? Do you love adventure?
Winter is just around the corner and we want to show you how locals make the most of it in our part of Aotearoa.
Sure we will take you to all the best resorts, show you the best terrain in the conditions on the day and tailor the tour to suit your skill level. But we want you to experience the essence of mountain culture. The people and communities that make wiggling down mountains so special!

If you didn't already know, Hygi has over 30 years experience guiding snow tours in this part of the world and knows these maunga like the back of his hand.
We have a tour catalogue, to give you ideas of the types of holidays we create. But more than anything we want to design a bespoke tour that best suits you. Get in touch to let us know how we can make your snow tour dreams come true!

These two enjoyed a gourmet picnic at a secluded location on the incredibly scenic Wānaka lakefront.
The Al fresco dining experience began with a plate of fresh, seasonal fruit and veg and a drink of the locally brewed .effectbrewing Wānaka Lager.
We followed up with substantially sized crackers, slathered in a thick layer of locally produced goats cheese, a slab of home grown heritage tomatoes and drips of home made pesto.
After relaxation and digestion they swam in the crystal clear waters of the alpine lake. Needless to say the experience was blissful.
