Tauroa, a piece of heaven. New Zealand, known to the Maori as Aotearoa,
or Land of the Long White Cloud, is world-renowned for its natural beauty
and purity. The spectacular setting for Peter Jackson’s Lord of the
Rings film trilogy is a very real place, one where you can find peace and
solitude within an awe-inspiring convergence of mountains, grasslands, forests,
lakes and ocean. A population of four million people reside in this idyllic
island nation the size of California.
New Zealand is much more than spectacular scenery. It is a progressive country
with a highly skilled and technologically advanced populace. It has thriving
tourism, film, technology, winery and agricultural industries, and is noted
for its stable economy, politics and clean, green, nuclear-free stance. The
Napier region, known as Hawke’s Bay, is fast becoming the newly-discovered “place
in the sun” for affluent investors. Being on the “edge of the
world” in this global society, New Zealand has the distinct advantage
of being the first country to herald in each new day ahead of the world trading
partners. New Zealand also offers abundant outdoor activities, such as world
class sailing, skiing, fishing, golfing, hiking, camping, diving, bushwalking,
surfing, riding and much more.
