please Contact Us The North Island is New Zealand’s most populated island and is shaped like a lopsided, elongated diamond. Northland, the long subtropical northern point, is connected to the remaining part of the island by a narrow isthmus on which rests the Auckland metropolis. The Coromandel, a slim peninsula pointing north, flanks the four cities which make up the metropolis to the east across the Hauraki Gulf. The western point of the diamond encompasses a single snowcapped volcano, Mount Egmont/Taranaki, while the Waikato Basin, boasting some of New Zealand’s richest farmland, is located immediately south of Auckland and encircles the city of Hamilton.
The South Island is larger than the North Island, uniquely beautiful and is home to nearly one quarter of New Zealand’s population. Christchurch, the South Island’s largest city, serves the rich farmlands of the Canterbury Plains and is located centrally on the East Coast. Dunedin is the other main city and is located further South. The scenic West Coast is a mass of rugged coastline, while the upper South Island’s Marlborough region offers world renowned wineries and endless sunshine. Queenstown is situated inland from the West Coast and is a tourist orientated township encompassed by snow capped mountains. Invercargill and the port of Bluff are the South Island’s two southern-most destinations, situated at the base of the island.
