lenging, local-members course just around the corner from the

hotel, offering stunning views of the surrounding Islands. An

evening sail on a tall ship around the Bay of Islands and dine

in Russell, known in Maori as Kororareka, settled a thousand

years ago by the Ngare Raumati iwi (tribe). Legend has it that

Kororareka is named after a broth made from the little blue

penguin which was given to a Maori chief wounded in battle.

He was believed to have said "Ka reka te korora” - how sweet

is penguin, leading to the town's name. Blue penguins still

come ashore after dark onto the beach at Russell or Koro-

rareka to nest under the floorboards of waterfront buildings. .

Thus. Feb 16: A special overland trip through the historic

town of Kerikeri, often referred to as „The cradle of the nation

because of its early interaction between Maori and European

Missionaries, to play Kauri Cliffs Golf Club, celebrated as

one of the top 100 golf courses in the world. Magnificent

early morning flight to Milford Sound glaciers and a

cruise through the Sound. In Maori legend, this land-
