New Zealand’s starring role

New Zealand is about to steal the hearts of Middle-earth fans all over again.

Tourists flocked to see the stunning locations in the blockbuster movie Lord of the Rings and it’s hoped the release of The Hobbit in December will attract even more.

The first of a trilogy of films – starring Elijah Wood (above), Orlando Bloom, Martin Freeman, Cate Blanchett, Evangeline Lilly, Christopher Lee and Billy Connolly – tells the story of Middle-earth 60 years before The Lord of the Rings.

Tour operator, DialAFlight has a number of exciting offers to New Zealand. Marketing boss Victoria Hampton said: “The country may be small but it has a huge amount to offer holidaymakers; beautiful beaches, hot springs, spectacular mountains, fantastic vineyards, walking trails, whales, wildlife and the new cycle ways which have opened up.”

Two people can win flights to New Zealand by sharing their own experiences in the country. See www.dialaflight.com/experiencenewzealand/ for more details.

DialAFlight holidays include a half-price 14-night motorhome adventure, now from £1,459 per person.

Nothing beats the freedom of travelling through stunning scenery and picture-postcard panoramas in a motorhome. No lugging bags around and no set agenda. You can choose where to go, when to go and stay for as long as you like.

Price based on four sharing a motorhome for travel from March 1-31, third party insurance, local taxes and flights from London to Auckland with Malaysia Airlines.
