Christchurch Earthquake

We have been getting lots of kind inquiries asking if we are alright after the Christchurch earthquake. While tremors were felt in Wanaka there is no damage here and luckily it seems that all our friends and relatives have come through without any real tragedy. We all have friends who have lost their homes but that can all be repaired in time. The “more English than England” Christchurch is gone, but in time a new and vibrant city will emerge. Christchurch is the commercial hub of the South Island and it will take years to adjust to the economic impact this will have here. Tourism will play a big role in the restoration of the economy so if you are thinking of visiting New Zealand now is the time!
