    • Mackenzie Aoraki/Mount Cook

      The village of Aoraki/Mount Cook is a comfortable haven in one of the most unforgiving parts of New Zealand. On every side, the Southern Alps scrape the sky. Aoraki/Mount Cook itself is New Zealand's tallest mountain and the same peak that Sir Edmund Hillary "practised" on before his successful ascent of Everest. However, you don't have to be a mountaineer to enjoy what is on offer here.
