Thanks to our generous sponsors, this year's raffle is for a trip to Norfolk Island! The trip includes return flights for two with Air Chathams (departing Whakatane or Auckland), 7 nights accommodation with Aloha Apartments, and 7 days car hire with Aloha Rent-A-Car.

​

Norfolk Island is a South Pacific paradise full of stories, activity and character.  It has a unique history and community now enjoyed in modern life with its beautiful landscapes, impressive diversity and refreshing authenticity.  The island shares a similar latitude and climate to Australia's easternmost towns and is a sub-tropical gem.  

​

A stunning natural environment, a relaxed pace of life, heritage architecture and long established traditions, it shouldn't surprise as a foodie and culinary destination.  A real nod to the slow food movement, recipes come from ancient Polynesia through to the influence of American whalers. Menus and markets are based on grown fresh produce and seasonality. 

​

You can find many activities to keep you busy including fishing, kayaking, heritage, native forest, cycling, gardens and cultural tours are all available. Events are on every month with celebrations of Country Music, Jazz, a Food Festival and the new Ocean Challenge in January.
