Labour Weekend....

The last Public Holiday here in New Zealand was Queen's Birthday at the beginning of June.

Since then we have all laboured through the Winter and now Spring is upon us it's time to relax and unwind. Of course those of us in the service industry are more than happy to soldier on!

Here at The Springs we have completed all the pre-season chores and our guests are arriving to what is going to be a very busy time and hopefully a very clement Summer.

All the best for a safe and happy Labour weekend!

And here it is already....October

The days are longer, the weather warmer. It's a great combination to lift spirits.

That being said, just now, we are experiencing a cold blast from the deep Southern ocean which bodes well for skiing for the last week of our school holidays.

The trees are filled with singing Tuis (New Zealand's native bird) sucking the nectar from the blossoms and swinging around the branches.

The NZ dollar is on its way down which it a huge relief to our guests. Not so good for us heading offshore, but our exporters are delighted!

Our guests are growing in number as this 2014/15 season gathers momentum. Hope to see you here at The Springs sometime soon.
