Why New Zealand?

Capital: Wellington

Population: 4,000,000

Official Language: English

Total Area: 270, 543

New Zealand has a distinct culture and heritage. Lifestyles are generally more relaxed and informal than in most other developed countries and New Zealanders are self-reliant and practical, open and hospitable. They tend to have little patience for ostentatious or loud behavior. They also value their families and their leisure time.

New Zealand offers some of the most beautiful and varied Landscapes on earth. You can experience the sights of high snowcapped peaks, hissing glaciers, steep-sided fjords, ancient beech forests, a wild coastline with unusual wildlife, long deserted sandy beaches, alpine meadowlands, wide open sheep country, bubbling hot springs, green lush rainforests and a great deal more.

You can swim with dolphins, gambol with newborn lambs, whale watch or fish for fattened trout or saltwater charter fish.

Because it's such a compact place, travel within New Zealand - whether by plane, bus, rail, car or campervan - is affordable and efficient. Accommodation too is cheap and varied. And the culinary promise of venison, fresh seafood, sublime ice cream and award-winning wines should more than wet the appetite.

The Climate

The climate is temperate without great extremes. People from the northern hemisphere can escape their difficult winters by crossing the equator for a New Zealand summer. Winters, especially in the North Island, are mild so Kiwis can enjoy an outdoor lifestyle for most of the year.

New Zealand's Seasons
 

The North of New Zealand is subtropical and the South temperate. The warmest months are December, January and February, and the coldest June, July and August.

In summer, the average maximum temperature ranges between 20-30 degrees C and in winter between 10-15 degrees C. You can check on weather conditions in New Zealand on the New Zealand Met Service website.

Thames School (In the Coromandel Region)

The Coromandel Region of New Zealand is truly a special place. With sparkling sapphire waters, white sandy beaches, native tree lined coastal roads and secluded bays just waiting to be explored, The Coromandel, known as the Jewel of New Zealand, is breathtaking and unforgettable.
 

The Coromandel Peninsula separates the Pacific Ocean from the Hauraki Gulf. It is a beautiful, rugged area fringed with dozens of excellent beaches, and the Coromandel Ranges, forested land. Surfing, swimming, fishing and even a hot stream under the sand are among the pleasures of these pristine beaches.

You can enjoy yachting, boating, kayaking and canoeing, water-skiing, diving and snorkeling. In the mountainous, forested interior, rock-hounding, hiking, camping and horse trekking are popular.

The Thames Coast is 35 Km of shoreline, particularly stunning in December when the native pohutukawa trees, also known as New Zealand's Christmas Tree, display their brilliant red flowers.

Many conservationists, alternative lifestyle's and craftspeople (there are flourishing craft trails) live in Thames. These, and a growing number of upmarket beach resorts in the region, offer activities such as tennis, golf, windsurfing, bowls, croquet and scenic flights and cruises. The towns are all of historical interest, with heritage trails, local museums, fine Victorian buildings and relics of the gold-mining and kauri-logging day.
