This time of year is autumn on the other side of the globe – a season where New Zealand really opens up and the diverse landscape creates the perfect setting for outdoor activities.

If you are dreaming of owning a property in New Zealand then the next few months could be a great time to make your mind up.

A range of national and international events will feature throughout autumn on the water, in the high country and down at the beach as well as the long list of food and wine events that mark the ripening of the country’s produce.

The International Jazz & Blues Festival, the third oldest event of its kind in the world, takes place in early April and the Warbirds over Wanaka International Air Show occurs at around the same time.

With such an abundance of things to do at this time of year, it may be best to get over there sooner rather than later.
