Sorry, Masterton is about one hour and 15 minutes NORTH of Wellington
which is still in the North Island. I guess the nearest snow field is
Ruapehu, at least three hours drive away from Masterton.
There are some redeeming features to Masterton, such as .........





......... well anyway, its north of Wellington

Masterton is on the south eastern portion of the North Island.  About
1.5 hours drive NEfrom Wellington.  Closest snow would be in the
central NI (some few hours away).  You should all go and visit the
vineyards at Martinborough (probably 30 mins away).  Then ask why
Martinborough Rhine Riesling wasn't picked as the conference dinner
wine :-).

Sorry for the mis-information, it's my fault.  Hey it was at the
auug cocktail night when i spoke to Julie.  You know after
a few beers, wines, and cheese ......

.......An increasing number of Wellingtonians moving there and
commuting. It's a better place to live in than to visit perhaps. The
Solway Park is a good conference venue though. Le Petit Cafe is a
great little restaurant (at least it was a year ago). The Tararuas
are close and are a great place to go in winter if you are a
competent telemark/cross-country skier. If you want the synthetic,
full service skiing experience then it is three hours to Ohakune.
Tararuas are pretty good to go to if you want to tramp all year
round. The Waiarapa coast is rugged and interesting. As someone else
said, visit the vineyards in Martinborough.
