From 16 June to 14 October 2012, a special promotion in New Zealand’s South Island makes it easy for families to take the winter break of a lifetime – without blowing the budget.
Methven is a charming alpine village located in the heart of the South Island, at the base of Mt Hutt. It’s only a one hour drive from Christchurch International Airport. With a world-class ski area on its doorstep, this is easily the best base imaginable for a New Zealand winter holiday.
