Things to think about
Our aim is to do the hard work for you. We put together your itinerary based on your wish list, timeline and budget. We book and tie it all together. We ensure all the small print is noted and all the possibilities you could encounter are accounted for.
With our local knowledge and experience not only do we fill in the gaps as you travel from place to place alerting you to the gems, suggested stops, walks, view points, cafes, restaurants, diversions, places to swim etc, even what time to get going in the morning but we also balance your route and length and number of stops so that your holiday is relaxing, interesting and seamless.
See below for some helpful information to think about – we look forward to talking with you.
As everyone’s holiday is different and unique to them, it is impossible to say. They vary in length, season, accommodation and activities. That said, you probably need a ball park to help you plan. So for a high season holiday, staying in good accommodation, some activities (eg whale watch, a days kayaking), car hire and transportation (domestic flights, ferries, trains and airport pick up and drop offs) would start at approx NZ$350-400 per person per day for two people travelling together.
You may wish to throw in the odd accommodation treat by staying in a boutique lodge, a scenic flight or some more activities, upgrade your car to an SUV. If this is the case you are looking at starting from approx. NZ$450-500 per person per day, (two people travelling together sharing a room).
You may also wish to indulge in luxury lodges, helicopter flights and more. We can discuss these options with you.
Perhaps you were thinking of something a bit less. If this is the case, look to our shoulder seasons, when you could still strike lucky with the weather. Talk to us
It is possible that you could book it all yourself, and it would cost less, but your holiday isn’t just a matter of stringing each of the elements together. With our local knowledge, relationships and experience not only do we fill in the gaps as you travel from place to place alerting you to the gems, the walks, the viewpoints, the cafes, even what time to get going in the morning but we also balance your route and length and number of stops so that your holiday is relaxing, interesting, and seamless.
There are so many places to see and things to do when you visit New Zealand and we can plan any type of journey, stay or trip for you.
You may already have something special in mind, you will of course get many ides from our Inspiration page and we are quite sure that family and friends will have also marked your card.
We can provide lots more inspiration than we could ever highlight here so please get in touch and we can tell you more.
We can balance your booked activities / excursions with lots of space for your own exploration. We can suggest where to swim, best place to eat fish & chips on the beach or have a pie! We can even push those boundaries you didn’t know you had so you can find that inner child again.
Travelling around New Zealand can be slower than anticipated. We will help you strike that balance between seeing lots of our incredibly beautiful and diverse country with having long enough in each location to relax, soak it up and not be constantly in the car and on the move. What can be compelling on paper can be exhausting in reality. This is a holiday. Your holiday!
We pride ourselves in providing comfortable, spacious, well located, friendly, spotlessly clean accommodation for each of the places you will stay. This may be a city centre hotel, a stylish self-catering serviced apartment or motor lodge or a B & B or a boutique lodge or a mixture – depends on the location and what you want.
You may be celebrating something special on your holiday and wish to stay in one of New Zealand’s luxury boutique lodges – of course we can provide this.
Whether you’re travelling, as a couple, on your own, with friends or with family – we can book the best accommodation to suit both your budget and personal preferences.
Whatever you choose, we will have checked it out first, and we are sure that you will enjoy the “kiwi hospitality”, have a comfortable night and feel refreshed and raring to go the next day.
Whether you are travelling on your own; with friends; with family, young, old (or both!); it’s a return visit, or a trip of a lifetime, we can create the unique experience that you are looking for. Talk to us and see what we can do for you.
Quite often we find that people have some “must do’s” already on their wish list…..do you? A scenic train journey, a visit to Hobbiton, wine tasting, cycling…. we will of course toss ideas about and come up with heaps of suggestions, but if there is anything specific that you have in mind, do let us know.
