Chatham Islands Tour, 26th Jan to 2nd Feb 2023

Visiting the Chathams,  one of the most remote parts of New Zealand, is a unique experience.  Located 800 km east of the South Island, the Chathams are a remote, ocean-bound wilderness and are most famous for plentiful fresh seafood and fascinating marine and wildlife.  They are made up of 10 islands with a radius of approx. 60 km.  The largest of the islands are Chatham and Pitt.  We will be staying at Awarakau Lodge which is at the centre of a 1100 acre farm.   Visitors talk about the home-style cuisine, personalised serve and the sharing of histories and experiences that they have here.  Rosemarie is a 6th generation Chatham Islander.  Her family has been farming this part of the Chathams since the 1800s

Embroiderers and Quilters Tour, April 2023

Tasmania is a short, direct, 3 ½ hour flight from New Zealand and while being very Australian with its miles of gum trees, kangaroos and koalas, it has a distinct, fascinating flavour all of its own.
Our tour has been set at a nice leisurely pace with enough free time to be able to personalise the tour to your tastes and interests.  You’ll get the opportunity to learn about Tasmania’s history, enjoy a variety of nature from the harbour and mountains of Hobart, the beaches in the East, the productive midlands and the far reaches of the North West along Bass Strait.  We have included a couple of visits with a textile flavour and one or two patchwork or embroidery shops but the main focus of this tour is to get away for a nice relaxing holiday.
