Watch the golden leaves frolic to the invisible sway of breeze and breathe in the clear autumn air. Have a picnic and soak up the warmth of the sun. Laze around the beautiful fields to hear the rustling and caressing of leaves.

Oh, the contradictory nature of Mother Earth is a sure wonder! The blue of the sky, the autumn colours of pale green and gold on the trees. Such vibrant hues are what you get to see on a New Zealand road trip.

Meet the different shades of blue at New Zealand. Feel the silver-blue water ripple across the lake as you wade in deep and dunk your head below. A glorious moment of silence greets you, before you lose yourself to the water spirits.

Hear the crunch of the crimson and gold leaves under your feet. A picturesque place surrounded by vivid colours you cannot ignore. This is “picture perfect” New Zealand in autumn.

Lounge under a tree overlooking the still lake. With the shadows to conceal you from the real world, you can perhaps take a nap and escape to your Neverland.

Leap through the shrubs, down the steep pathway to the clear-blue heaven beneath. Is it solitude you prefer?

Watch the turkeys pick at the grass inside small picket fences surrounded by mountains and greenery. A breathtaking sight to behold.

Beautiful barren trees casting its shadow. Is autumn coming to an end? Soak in the warm glow of the sun before winter catches up.

Bike through the small paved roads in the countryside between golden weeds and clear lakes. Feel the fresh air against your face and look up to the blue sky.

Picture yourself living inside a hobbit-hole? With its colourful round doors overlooking the glassy lake and the meadows beyond.To explore more visit New zealand Vacation packages.
