Package Overview

No matter where you travel in New Zealand, however remote a spot you find yourself, you won’t have to compromise on either comfort or cuisine with our Luxury Tours. Even when you travel to places completely off the beaten track, in the giddy heights of the Alpine peaks or the ragged shores of remote peninsulas, there are plenty of excellent accommodation options and excellent eateries.

On this luxury self drive tour, you will visit some of New Zealand’s most popular destinations, and after a busy day you can relax and unwind in a selection of Lodges, a unique collection of NZ properties, usually owner-run, many with a historic pedigree and often located in secluded, off-the-beaten-track locations.

Day wise Itinerary

  • Day 1 : Waiheke Island

    Waiheke Island is an eclectic mix of cultures, activities, vineyards, cafes, restaurants, art galleries, beautiful beaches, scenic walking tracks and much, much more. It’s a perfect relaxing, romantic escape; family holiday at the beach or weekend away. There are many outdoor activities and plenty to see and do, no matter what your interests or energy levels.

    Two Nights Accommodation at the Boatshed on Waiheke Island. This nautically-themed property has five designer suites. The owners will meet you on arrival and can arrange a number of touring options, including visits to the local vineyards and picnics, or you can explore the island independently by hired car.
