Holiday homes in New Zealand

In New Zealand, you’ll find holiday homes that truly surprise you - think sweeping views over the Marlborough Sounds or a stay right in the heart of Hawke’s Bay wine country.

If you’re travelling with your family or a group of friends, a bit of extra space goes a long way. Our carefully selected holiday homes in New Zealand are spacious, self-contained, and set in places you’ll genuinely want to explore—whether that’s by the coast with views over the Sounds, in a renowned wine region, or surrounded by the dramatic landscapes of the South Island. With your own kitchen, garden or terrace, you’re free to experience the area entirely at your own pace.

At TravelEssence, we choose holiday homes that stand out for their location and character—a true home away from home.
