New Zealand Travel, NZ Accommodation

Welcome to our New Zealand holidays & accommodation web site. We have been a travel wholesaler for over 10 years in Australia and have lots of first hand knowledge of our neighbour New Zealand, so go ahead and ask us about accommodation, tours and much more that is available for your Holiday to New Zealand!

New Zealand, or Aotearoa (which translates to ‘land of the long white cloud’) as it is universally known, is a land of rare natural beauty and breathtaking contrasts. A visit to New Zealand will leave you no time to waste because there’s so much to see and do. You can quench your thirst for adventure by jumping out of a plane (skydive!) or off a bridge (bungy jump!), or relax a little by cruising Auckland’s Hauraki Gulf or sampling the local drop in one of the many wine-producing regions.

From the tip of the North Island, Cape Reinga, down to the South Cape of Stewart Island you will continually be astounded by the contrasting imagery and environment. The Coastal Waters of New Zealand hold their own magic with fur seals, dolphins and whale-watching from Kaikoura; the amazing formation of the pancake rocks and blowholes in Punakaiki; and in the Bay of Plenty emerges White Island, a live volcano of persistent intensity – just a few of the highlights!

North Island

The North Island offers incredible golden sandy beaches, pungent bubbling mud, soaring geysers and pristine native bush. In a single day you could ski the snow-covered slopes of Mount Ruapehu in the morning and then follow it up with a dip in an historical hot mineral plunge pool that afternoon.

On the East Coast of Northland, Russell, Opua, Paihia, Waitangi & Kerikeri all make up part of the Bay of Islands, a world-renowned tourist destination. Waitangi is where New Zealand's founding document, the Treaty of Waitangi, was signed in 1840. Some of New Zealand's oldest buildings are found in the Bay of Islands. Wherever you are in the Bay of Islands, it's impossible to escape the lure of the sea. Catch a ferry or charter boat and immerse yourself in the blue-green world of island and beach. Or paddle a sea kayak in and out of island nooks and crannies.

Wherever you stay in Auckland, you're never far from breathtaking scenery, stunning beaches, refreshing walks, tranquil holiday islands, exceptional food and wine, fabulous shopping and exhilarating nightlife. Use our site to plan your dream holiday, extended vacation, weekend away or day trip to Auckland. You'll find valuable information on accommodation, sightseeing, activities, attractions, and more. Keep an eye on our Specials page to pick up our offers and deals as soon as they become available. Whatever your interests, you’ll never be short of things to do in the City of Sails.

The Coromandel Peninsula is in the Thames Region and is just over an hour’s easy drive from Auckland Airport. Alternatively a ferry service runs from downtown Auckland to Coromandel Town, passing through the most picturesque part of the Hauraki Gulf. Take the time to visit Hot Water Beach where at low tide you can dig your own hot pool! Or maybe a beach walk to Cathedral Cove, a stunning natural amphitheatre. The Coromandel’s unspoilt landscape and relaxed lifestyle make it the perfect holiday destination.

The green rolling landscapes of the Waikato region that lies to the south of Auckland form some of the most fertile land in New Zealand, yet this is one region in particular which holds more than just surface appeal… literally. For Waikato also boasts an extensive warren of underground caverns that formed millions of years ago and are now a major tourist attraction. Hamilton is the region’s main centre and is also the country’s fourth largest city located on the banks of the Waikato River, New Zealand’s longest. The town is famous for its themed gardens, and the local zoo, which has the largest free flight aviary in the Southern Hemisphere - an excellent chance to find out about New Zealand's distinctive native birds. To the south of Hamilton, the small and pleasant town of Waitomo is the focal point of the region’s subterranean wonders. A popular tourist stopover, the caves are easy to explore on a boat trip like no other, revealing a hidden world of glow-worms and phenomenal limestone formations.

In the very heart of the North Island, Rotorua, Taupo and the Tongariro National Park make up a region defined by volcanic explosion and geothermal activity. In Tongariro National Park the sweeping landscape is dominated by the dramatic volcanic cones of Ruapehu, Tongariro and Ngauruhoe, while Rotorua is known for its enigmatic geothermal areas with hot springs, geysers, mud pools and steaming craters. In fact, virtually all accommodation in Rotorua comes with their own private mineral pool as a standard feature. And at the heart of this region is Lake Taupo, New Zealand's largest lake and a recreational mecca for fishers and watersport lovers.

Egmont National Park , on the western coast of the North Island, is dominated by a perfectly shaped volcanic cone known as both Mt Egmont and Mt Taranaki. Three sealed roads ascend the densely forested flanks, bringing the mountain facilities within a 30 minute drive of New Plymouth or Stratford and offering visitors the unusual opportunity to snowboard, ski, water ski and surf all in the same day!

The charming city of Napier in the picturesque region of Hawkes Bay is fast becoming world renowned for its Art Deco history. Add to this the vast number of awards gained by many of the regions wineries; the area is making its mark on the world visitor’s map! Hawke's Bay is loved for its sunny climate, fabulous beaches, sheltered coastal plains and long-established vineyards. It is also one of the country's largest pip fruit growing areas.

Wellington – the Nations capital – is a vibrant, scenic, cosmopolitan, diverse, eccentric, and entertaining place. It has some of the best museums, art galleries, restaurants and cafes in the country. Dominating the spectacular waterfront is Te Papa - the interactive, innovative museum which is one of New Zealand’s key cultural attractions. Wellington is home to the NZ Symphony Orchestra, Royal NZ Ballet, The National Opera and the National Dance and Drama schools – all perform regularly in town. Central Wellington is very compact being less than 2 kilometres in length which makes it a pedestrian’s paradise, although somewhat undulating. New Zealand Parliament Building, fondly referred to as ‘The Beehive’ is situated on Lambton Quay and from there you can catch the Wellington Cable Car up to the Botanic Gardens and Carter Observatory.

South Island

The South Island is a place of striking extremes. From majestic fiords to picture-postcard alpine areas, picturesque lakes to ancient glaciers, sub-tropical forests to undulating farmlands, it truly has it all. To visit the Nelson region is to discover incredibly clear blue skies and wide open spaces, immaculate beaches and glassy lakes, spectacular national parks and unique landforms, vineyards and gourmet cafés, artists and galleries, entrepreneurs and boutique shopping experiences...a uniquely Nelson way of life.

Christchurch is famous for natural beauty and a wealth of things to do. Christchurch has a lively entertainment scene, strong cultural heritage, gorgeous parks and excellent shopping. Christchurch's reputation as the Garden City is truly reflected in the Botanic Gardens – undoubtedly the finest collection of exotic and indigenous plants found anywhere in New Zealand, the Gardens provide spectacular displays all year round. Among other 'must sees' are the weekend Arts Centre market, Christchurch Cathedral, and International Antarctic Centre.

Explore the alpine wonderland of New Zealand's highest mountains, view mighty glaciers and lush coastal rain forests in an unforgettable scenic ‘flightseeing tour’ of the spectacular Mount Cook and Westland World Heritage Parks. At 3,754 metres (12,313 feet) above sea level, Mt Cook provides the focal point of the Mackenzie region. Combine that with the unique deep turquoise colour of several glacial lakes and you have scenery that'll leave you breathless - but wait, there's more ... incredibly-clear starry nights, brilliant sunny days, valleys of emerald green, snow-capped mountains and glaciers contribute to a truly breathtaking experience.

The West Coast of New Zealand has the power to touch your soul with its landscape of brooding mountains, icy glaciers and surreal coastal formations. To this amazing natural landscape you can add fantastic accommodation, fine foods, festivals and first class local guides. You can raft an underground cave, hike over a glacier, kayak a stunning lake, pan for gold and taste the traditional West Coast delicacy, whitebait. Main centres include Westport, Greymouth, Hokitika, Fox Glacier, Franz Josef Glacier and Haast.

Queenstown – the Adventure Capital of the World – if the scenery doesn’t take your breath away, the action will! Stunning landscape, vast mountain ranges, tranquil lakes and wild rivers provide perfect venues for all kinds of adventure sports. Queenstown is home to unquestionably some of the most awesome ski fields and mountain ranges on the planet so for the NZ skiing holiday of a lifetime look no further. During the ski season regular bus services operate from Queenstown accommodation to Coronet Peak, Cardrona, Treble Cone and the Remarkables. Fantastic slopes are available for skiing, snowboarding or for something a little more intense… try Heli-skiing! There is an awesome array of Queenstown Accommodation to choose from.

When you travel to Fiordland, you will be visiting one of the most dramatic and beautiful parts of New Zealand. You can feel the power of nature here - the remoteness, the wildness and the peace. Real Journeys offer a wide variety of experiences in the Fiordland, including day and overnight cruises in both the Milford and Doubtful Sounds, excursions to the Te Anau Glow worm caves and Milford Track Guided day walks. Doubtful Sound is the second largest of the 14 fiords in Fiordland National Park and it is three times longer and 10 times larger than Milford Sound.

Without a doubt, New Zealand travel offers you the perfect combination of holiday experiences in one clean, green and fabulously serene package.
