We love receiving photos and posts from our friends and readers all over the country – and summer holidays means summer holiday photos!

We’ve posted some of our favourite pics from our social media pages here earlier in the season – but we were getting so many sent through we wanted to show them all off…

Keep the content coming in – and we’ll do our best to showcase as much as we can as this beautiful summer weather continues around New Zealand.
