New Zealand (or Aotearoa – land of the long white cloud), truly is one of the most picturesque and photogenic places on earth.

A island nation of just over 4.5 million people, New Zealand is made up of two major land island, the North and South Island. The two main islands are divided by a 22km stretch of water called the Cook Strait. In the vicinity of Mahoe Lodge the area is made up of some of the worlds most spectacular landscapes, from vast mountain ranges, steaming volcanoes to some of the best hunting and fishing areas in the world.
