"If you are thinking about going on a holiday to the closest place to heaven on earth, where the 'Garden of Eden' is still unspoilt, the 'natives' are friendly, and amenities are modern?"
If you said "YES!, tell where this mythical place is" - then come and visit scenic New Zealand!
So where is New Zealand, and how big is this 'Garden of Eden'?
New Zealand lies between 34 and 47 degrees south latitude, below Australia, and consists of two long, narrow main islands, North Island 44,208 square miles (114,500 square km) and South Island 58,185 square miles (150,700 square km) in size.
Auckland is New Zealand’s largest and most accessible city. With a population of over one million people and home to the country's main international airport, the thriving cosmopolitan city is the heart of entertainment.

New Zealand is: golden beaches, ancient kauri forests, lakes, volcanos, thermal areas...
North Island, with its golden beaches, ancient kauri forests, lakes, volcanos, thermal areas, and large cities (including Wellington, the capital), is the more densely populated.
New Zealand is: snowcapped mountains, glaciers, lush native bush, and fiords...
South Island, with its snowcapped mountains, glaciers, lush native bush, and fiords, is the larger of the two, proudly called "the mainland" by residents (though North Islanders are quick to disagree!).
New Zealand is: unspoiled, bird-filled bush and beach paradise...
Tiny Stewart Island (1,750 square km), an unspoiled, bird-filled bush and beach paradise at the foot of the South Island, is the closest most people ever get to the Antarctic. Also within New Zealand's territorial jurisdiction lie several small island groups, including the Chatham, Kermadec, and Tokelau Islands, Campbell Island, Auckland, Antipodes, Snares, Solander, and Bounty Islands, and Ross Dependency, Antarctica.
New Zealand appears to be a mere speck on the globe...
Surrounded by the South Pacific Ocean on the east and the Tasman Sea on the west, New Zealand appears to be a mere speck on the globe, and yet it's about 1,770 km from top to bottom--similar in size to the British Isles or Japan. Australia, 2,092 km northwest, is New Zealand's closest neighbor, and because of this relative proximity the two countries are often mistakenly believed to be one. But beware! To innocently suggest this to "Kiwis" (as New Zealanders like to call themselves) is to risk running afoul of their good natures. New Zealand is an independent self-governing nation.
Designated a World Heritage Area...
New Zealand is renowned worldwide for its pure, natural environment, which is carefully preserved by the Department of Conservation. The far south has been designated a World Heritage Area in recognition of its natural, unspoilt beauty.
The country was first named Aotearoa (The Land of the Long White Cloud) by the Maori and has a population of 3.9 million.
New Zealand is: laid-back lifestyle or the great outdoors...
You’ll find the lifestyle laid-back, but if you venture into the great outdoors look out for the amazing kiwis. They love to throw themselves off bungy platforms and get white knuckles clinging to inflatable rafts and jet boats. They keep devising new innovative physical challenges for visitors to experience and just can’t resist ‘having a go’ themselves.
Easy to get around New Zealand...
Getting around New Zealand is easy with an efficient air service and flexible coach, rail and ferry network for tour groups and independent travellers. The range of climatic conditions varies from warm, sub-tropical areas in the far north to the cooler climates of the south.
