The essence of New Zealand is difficult to explain. You have to experience New Zealand to understand my passion for this place. Here are some comments from non-residents:
Celebrities comment
"I think every person dreams of finding an enchanted place with beautiful mountains and breathtaking coastlines and clear lakes and amazing wildlife but most people give up on it, because they've never been to New Zealand." Former US President, Bill Clinton
"The scope, the natural lay of the land is actually spectacular. It's almost a wonder of nature the way the rivers and mountains and skylines weave into each other. It becomes more like visual art. That's pretty dazzling. Your first impression is not just the beauty but the scope of the beauty and the depth of the beauty." John Travolta, 1999
When asked, "what would you most like to inherit?" Moby Dick replied, "New Zealand." (GQ UK Magazine)
