Christmas in New Zealand?

My husbond and I are going with our 3 sons (14, 12 and 10 years old) from Spain where we live to New Zealand for a month over Christmas. Where do you think we should stay over the Christmasdays? New Years? What would be fun to do on Christmas day? New Years Eve? Any ideas? Thank you....Britt

There is always a great New Year%26#39;s Eve festival in Wanaka, and both Christchurch and Wanaka are filled, so book your hotel early, especially since you have a large party. We spend Christmas in New Zealand as often as we can, and have a few resorts on South Island which we particularly like. Since you have teens and pre-teens, I think you%26#39;d like Wanaka, Aukland, and perhaps the lovely Larnach Castle in Dunedin. If you stay at the Castle, put your boys in the Gold Rush Room -- trust me on this one. My grandsons adored it, and it was the high point of the trip, although they also liked the Hobbit Hole suite at the Minaret Lodge in Wanaka.

Just remember that it%26#39;s the middle of summer in New Zealand, and all things outdoor are at their peak -- jet boating, hiking, cave tours, cruises in the Fjordlands, etc. You%26#39;ll have a great time!

what has this got to do with Tallinn?

I thought this was the Tallinn page? BRMallorca if you want some tips on NZ send me a message and i%26#39;ll get back to you. I work in travel selling trips to Oz and Nz and have visited there so have a pretty good idea.
