STAY IN STYLE, SNUGGLE INTO A COSY PARKA,
ZIP AWAY TO ROTORUA, AND GET HAPPILY LOST
TRAVEL bites
Love the idea of whizzing
along on a zipline above
native bush? Rotorua Canopy
Tours has added new features
to its ultimate tour. You can
now enjoy the 400m ride in
tandem with a friend, to share
the exhilaration (or fear!). The
zipline has been slowed down,
giving you more time to enjoy
the views ahead of navigating
the cliff-side walkway.
HIGH ON LIFE
KEEP IT COSY

LET’S GET LOST
Would you love to get the
youngsters in your family
looking around at their
surroundings rather than
down at their phones or iPads?
The Getting Lost Game
was designed last year by
Aucklander Cat Macnaughtan,
her husband James and their
three daughters. The idea
is to get out and about
exploring New Zealand in
a “crazy, random way”.
Each game pack contains
26 Misdirection cards (turn left,
follow a blue car, head in the
direction the wind is blowing...)
and 25 Inspiration cards. Cards
are packed in “suitcases” made
locally from plant-based plastic.

ew Airbnb Luxe is

you book an Airbnb Luxe
property, your trip designer

Travellers can stay at incredible
places, including award-winning

in France and breathtaking villas

Te Kahu (pictured), a truly
spectacular house in Wanaka,
is available through Airbnb
