@ad-adstra I don't find it surprising but i had never heard of it before. I fly in there a lot in GA aircraft and had been told that it was a "captain only" approach for some airlines but wasnt sure why when I hadnt seen the same idea being applied at somewhere like NZQN for example 
Thanks for the replies, where abouts are the holes and windsheer locations in your experience anyone? Kauakau height totally has a knock to it but i havent felt much else...

There's normally a 'hole' at about 2-300' very short final 34 in most northerly conditions. The wind backing from 330 (at only 20-30kts) can be full of shear and rough.
Also short final 16 in a light sou'easter, generally a hole and some shear.
Don't get slow is good advice.

Sorry if the reply was a bit short - not meant to be.
VB or VA as we are now do not fly to Queenstown so its unknown territory.
We also have limitations on 30m 'narrow runways' and Low Vis Procedures for our First Officers.
Over time they have become less restrictive but will always be there in some form.
