Are you coming to New Zealand?

If you’re planning a holiday in New Zealand then we’d love to hear from you.

The A1LifeStore is based in Auckland City, New Zealand. Auckland is the largest city in the country with around 450,000 residents in the city itself and 1.3million in the greater Auckland area.Under 30 minutes drive from the city centre can see you in rural areas away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Auckland is a city built right on the water’s edge and sailing and other watersports play a huge part in many Aucklander’s lives.

Come and experience the New Zealand time difference. Whether you want to relax on one of our gorgeous beaches, check out the best shops in New Zealand in the upbeat town of Newmarket or check out the Auckland City art gallery, you will find plenty to do.

If you are more adventurous you could always hire a campervan and take a New Zealand road to any other great New Zealand city, town, or beach. if you really want to get away from it all, then this is the way to do it. In this clean, green paradise sometimes referred to as God’s Own Country, you can be snow skiing on a mountain resort in the morning and water skiing on a magnificent white sand beach in the afternoon. And with the welcoming warm smiles on the faces of every New Zealander you will find your New Zealand time will be totally unforgettable.

We are heading into the New Zealand summer now so if you visit any time between now and New Zealand day (also known as Waitangi Day) you will know that your time in New Zealand will be spent in the warmest part of the year. The New Zealand climate is temperate – the temperature in New Zealand seldom reaches above 90 degrees in summer making it perfect for either an active or restful holiday. Of course not everything in this great little country is in the North Island. The South Island of New Zealand is home to some of the most spectacular scenery on earth – from the dark mysterious waters of the Marlborough Sounds to the snow-capped peaks of the Southern Alps, the South Island is sure to take your breath away.

Sometimes it is easy to take all this natural beauty for granted but having been to a number of other countries I can honestly say that New Zealand is among the most beautiful places on earth and when you factor in the incredible people who live here, it wins hands down. Come and experience the greatest holiday destination and discover why most people never want to leave. Did I mention the exchange rate give you nearly $2 for your $1 so you get paradise for half price!! Come to New Zealand – we’d love to see you.

New Zealand drug raids net 56 arrests

New Zealand Police have seized cannabis plants and methamphetamine in two major drug operations today. The raids were the result of several months of undercover work in Northland and the Hawkes Bay areas. Most of the cannabis was being grown indoors and was the supply source for a number of residential selling houses or “tinnie” houses. Police say they have made a substantial dent in the cannabis supply to the areas. They expect to make more arrests related to the raids in the next few days.

Australia’s dust storm reaches New Zealand

New Zealand residents found a thin layer of fine red dust on cars and windows today. A large dust storm in the Australian desert blew up a huge cloud of dust which has travelled on the winds for thousands of miles and deposited itself in New Zealand. Quite a bizarre event but not totally unprecedented. A few years ago an algal bloom off the coast of Australia made its way across the Tasman Sea and hit new Zealand shores, polluting the local shellfish and making it toxic to humans for several months. So is there anything nasty in this dust and what health hazards does it present, if any? Is this Australia’s way of telling us to eat its dust??
