G'day there.

 

Not sure if you're familiar with this site, but is the NZ equivalent of the RAA and has a vast listing of clubs. If you wade through them, they often have a website with club details and hire rates etc. The site is - RaanzWiki | Main / HomePage

 

Also, if you find yourself a little further down in Wanaka, then go and see Ruth PRESNELL at U-Fly Wanaka and she will sit back and let you take her for a spin in a Tecnam. The aircraft my be something you have experienced in OZ, but the scenery from 9000ft is not!! I took a fantastic mountain flight and was back to the strip in 60mins. She was NZ$235 p/hour last year when I went. Totally mindblowing!!!
