Sustainability in actionWhen is the best travel time?
Travel to New Zealand at any time of the year. During the shoulder seasons, spring and autumn, the temperatures are ideal for enjoying the outdoors. What kind of activities do you have on your bucket list? Which places have you always dreamed of visiting? We can advise you on the best travel time that matches your interests.


How long do I need in New Zealand?
New Zealand isn’t a big country, therefore you don’t have to travel far to see new and different things. We recommend you to travel at a relaxed pace, for at least three weeks. You can visit one of the islands in great detail or see a few places on both the North and the South Island. The more time you have, the more great things you can see and all at a relaxed pace, no need to rush from highlight to highlight.


What can I see and do?
Snow-capped mountains, deserted white sandy beaches to ancient rainforest, that you can’t find anywhere else in the world. New Zealand is a mecca of things to see and do and you don't need to travel far to experience them. Kayak through pure wilderness in a double kayak. Go horse trekking over golden beaches. Soak in hot springs. Climb a mountain. We have carefully selected environmentally-friendly and small-scale activities, from easy-going, to active, and on to adventurous.


Where can I stay?
Experience the real New Zealand in our carefully selected accommodations. Stay with locals and enjoy genuine, friendly hospitality. A quaint cottage nestled between the mountains. A villa overlooking a deserted beach. A lakeside eco-lodge. Glamping in the heart of nature with an outdoor hot tub. Take a look at a selection of our accommodation for couples, from comfortable to luxury.


How do I travel around?
New Zealand is the ultimate road trip destination. A rental car gives you the flexibility to drive all corners of the country, at a relaxed pace. Travel to places that most tourists don't visit. With every turn of the road, New Zealand’s landscape changes. There is so much to see, you will frequently want to stop, take photos and enjoy the spectacular views.
