The prize

One couple wins an escape valued at over NZ$3,600: two nights at Wahapu Lodge, a private full-day (8-hour) Kōtare Quest charter, island hopping, swimming and snorkelling, a secluded beach picnic and Champagne. The prize is not redeemable for cash.

Eligibility & entry

Open to residents of New Zealand and Australia aged 18+. No purchase required. Entries open when the official giveaway post is published on Thursday 22 October 2026 and close Saturday 7 November 2026 at 11:59 pm NZDT.

Follow @henare_nz and @kotarequest, like the official giveaway post, and comment to tag someone you would bring and describe what you look forward to most. Tag as many friends as you like, but only one Instagram entry per person counts, regardless of tags or comments.

Newsletter signup through this page during the entry period gives one bonus entry, subject to eligibility checks. No Instagram username is required in the form. Maximum two counted entries per person: one Instagram entry and one signup bonus. Repeated signups do not add entries. Story sharing is optional and does not add an entry.

Winner & booking

The winner is selected by random draw from eligible entries after closing and announced on Sunday 8 November 2026, after 8:00 pm NZDT, with entry and eligibility checks before the prize is confirmed. No redraw will be held for an unclaimed prize.

The prize is valid for 12 months from the winner announcement, until 8 November 2027, for weekday stays only, and subject to Wahapu Lodge and Kōtare Quest availability. Arrange prize bookings by email to reservations@henarenz.co.nz. Charter routes, boarding, island stops, swimming and snorkelling depend on suitable weather, tides and the skipper’s safety assessment.
