Five stars, start to finish!

Being unfamiliar with New Zealand and fairly new to skiing, I had many questions, all of which Paula patiently answered over several weeks of back and forth emails. It was as though I already had a friend in New Zealand before I even arrived! I felt less like a tourist and more like a welcomed visitor. Paula, Simon, and Angela offered endless tips and advice, right down to the best bread to buy at the supermarket! Although traveling by myself, I never felt truly alone. Not to mention I skied on terrain that I would previously have considered to be beyond my ability, and that I never would have tried had I been on my own. All of which Paula made sure was documented with incredible photography. And my accommodation at the Te Wanaka Lodge was fantastic - beautiful while still managing to be comfortable and personal. Would love to return!
