Sit Back, Close Your Eyes, Dream... ... And Tell Us What You'd Like To Do
A luxury New Zealand vacation will take you
... far from the hustle and bustle of Europe, Asia and the US.
Far from everything, in fact...
New Zealand is the most geographically-isolated landmass on the planet.
But here, far away, you'll find luxury accommodation that is second-to-none. Golf courses of world-renown, first-class infrastructure. And an indigenous Māori culture that has been at once preserved and modernised makes this country absolutely unique...
The luxury New Zealand vacation that, for now, is just a germ has the potential to be the luxury vacation of a lifetime...
Imagine flying here, then leisurely taking in the very, very best this country has to offer. Take an 11, 15, 22 or more day tour. As you like
... a luxury New Zealand vacation custom-built to suit your interests, your taste. At your pace...
Use the itineraries as prompts. See what is available "off-the-shelf" then let your imagination work its wonders...
Something a little "out of the ordinary"?
Consider any, or all, of these elements of past luxury New Zealand vacations:
windsurfing with Olympic gold medallist Bruce Kendall,
witnessing an historical re-enactment of the first European contact with Māori in the Far North,
a personal jetboat safari in the middle of the Southern Alps,
a table for two in the Mayor of Taupo's garden and savouring wild trout freshly caught and cooked in your presence,
a 4WD tour of settings used in The Lord of the Rings,
an airport VIP service where you will be met at your aircraft door and accompanied through customs and immigration before being introduced to the people to whom you have entrusted this luxury vacation package in New Zealand...
Yes, your vacation is limited only by time.
And we have plenty of that down here, too...
... all you need to do is arrive.
But before you do, every luxury New Zealand vacation begins with a blank sheet of paper and a map.
This is custom-made at its best. You will not find better, anywhere. Period.
Huka Lodge was supreme, as was the Māori eco-tour we undertook in the Marlborough Sounds. The rafting in Queenstown and the helicopter to Mount Cook were also favourites. Thank you for all your help. Andrew Brownsword, Bath, England
