Blossoms and babies.
Spring is magical. After a harsh winter everything comes to life again, blooming with fresh leaves, blossoms and flowers. The Waikato Cherry Tree Festival in Hamilton isn’t to be missed, offering multicultural entertainment that heralds the start of spring. Plus the garden city of Christchurch shows her beauty with cherry blossoms and daffodils galore, really shining in the springtime sun. With streams and rivers winding through the city, little ducklings following mum and discovering their big new world is a moment to capture for anyone’s Instagram!
If you want the epitome of spring snaps though, there couldn’t be anything more perfect than the sight of little lambs bouncing and leaping with such joy and learning how these crazy things called legs really work. Sheep and kiwis go hand in hand, and are dotted all over the country from the depths of the country in Gore right up to Bay of Islands in Northland.
On yer bike.
We are blessed to have a country which lends itself to exploration by bike, with cycle tracks appropriate from novice to extreme advanced. Hitting the trails in spring is a great option for those who want to stay a little cooler, out of the beaming sun, as well as avoid the busier summer months. Our hotels are dotted around the entire country in key locations, offering a great feed, clean shower and a bit of comfort after a day on the bike. Check out the countries official trails on the New Zealand Cycle Trail website here. (www.nzcycletrail.com)
