Wolves of Queenstown Sir Michael Hill s world-renowned golf course, The Hills, has a pack of 110 giant bronze wolves circling a three-tonne warrior. The sculptures are only open to members of the exclusive Hills Golf Course and visitors to the Lodge at the Hills. If you re lucky enough to be one of them, you also get to explore a growing collection of other pieces, like five iron-cast Clydesdale horses, scattered around the golf course.

Each wolf weighs between 200kg and 300kg. If you can t get a reservation, try your luck spotting them from a hot air balloon. While pilots can t control the balloon s direction (it s at the mercy of the wind), Sunrise Balloons often swoops in over the course.

Tasmania Votes After Snap Election Call
Tasmanians are heading to the polls for an election where leaders of the two major parties have pledged not to govern in minority.

Whether you plan to get active this winter, hibernate or aim for balance with a combination of both, it helps to have a cosy spot to rest your head. Fortunately, Aotearoa is full of them. Lorna Thornber lists her favourites. Winter breaks can be about embracing the cold weather with skiing, snowboarding and brisk walks. Or they can be about hiding from it in a cosy cabin or hotel room with enough food, wine and entertainment on hand to ensure you never have to step outside.
