Norfolk – More for a Mid Year Breakaway

Norfolk – More for a Mid Year Breakaway

Auckland, 13 May 2013 - If you are looking for more from your mid year breakaway, then look to New Zealand’s closest international neighbor for holiday inspiration that is the perfect combination of beaches, nature, food and wine, and great island hospitality.

Norfolk Island is just 1.5 hours flight from Auckland – about the same time you could spend traversing Auckland’s motorways on a rainy day, but waiting for you is an array of great holiday options, many of which make use of Norfolk Island’s exceptional natural assets and subtropical climate.

A week in Norfolk offers something for everyone no matter what the season, the reason or budget. Here are Norfolk’s top ten for travellers looking for something a little different that nourishes the body and soul: -
1. Take a picnic of local organic produce to ‘best beach’ Emily Bay and bask in nature.
2. Walk 100 acres farm to view migrating bird life
3. Find ‘Second Sands’ – Norfolk’s secret beach
4. Take a ‘Mastering Taste’ cooking class using ‘pick your own’ produce
5. Enjoy lunch at Hilli’s restaurant – and stay for dinner!
6. Meander down ‘Quality Row’ and step back in time and into a living museum.
7. Free Norfolk Liqueurs tasting at the liqueur factor Mon, Tue, Thu and Fri between 2 and 5pm
8. Appreciate exceptional craftsmanship and intricate pearl inlay artistry at the historic St Barnabas Church
9. Chat to local artisans at ‘Soul Gallery’
10. Step ashore at Philip Island and explore its tracks and trails with an experienced guide.

Norfolk Island Tourism General Manager Glen Buffett describes Norfolk for kiwis as being “closer than you think and with far more to do than you could imagine.”

In addition to offering as much or as little as you would like from your break, Norfolk also has a wide range of accommodation options. Choose from self-catering cottages and apartment style accommodation where you can gather your own locally grown produce and cook up a culinary bounty of your own or take advantage of the great restaurants and cafes around the island with resort or hotel style accommodation.

Air New Zealand operates direct flights ex Auckland and United Travel is offering 7 night packages from $699.00 per person twin share – on sale until 20 May.
