Stuff has launched a new travel section, one that we hope will inspire Kiwis to see more of our beautiful backyard, and give them an easy way to plan and book their trip.
If you’re among the many Kiwis whose overseas travel plans have been undone by the pandemic, you’ve no doubt experienced a cocktail of negative emotions – made worse by the uncertainty over when we’ll be able to travel freely internationally again. To my knowledge, the hair of the dog is the best – perhaps only – cure. You need to book another break, fast. Fortunately for us, our geographically diverse isles offer up similar experiences to many we used to suffer hours in cramped plane cabins for: world-class road trips, wildlife encounters, beach breaks, wine regions, and stunning hikes.

Eastwoodhill in Ngatapa, is the brainchild of William Douglas Cook. Blinded in his right eye and missing the end of a finger, William Douglas Cook recuperated in England, where he fell in love with the autumnal colours of Northern Hemisphere trees. On his return to his ballot farm, 35 kilometres inland from Gisborne, he began his life’s mission, to plant 135 hectares of trees. Eastwoodhill now holds about 15,000 trees, including 103 threatened species.

Douglas Cook s property in 1911 after early plantings. It is the largest collection of Northern Hemisphere trees, south of the equator and with 25 kilometres of walking tracks, it’s well worth a walk in the park.
