New Zealanders are generally laid-back and relaxed, and we believe this exact mentality should be adapted to your holiday. Drive a few hours from one accommodation to the next. Easy journey’s through beautiful scenery. No rush. No pressure. To inspire you for your journey DownUnder, we have created a few example routes for solo travellers.
If you have the luxury of five or more weeks, you can see New Zealand in great detail. A relatively small country, you won’t need to spend hours and hours in the car. Visiting each place for at least two to four nights, allows you to get to know the locals and listen to their passionate stories about New Zealand.
Stay away from the crowds and integrate into the relaxed Kiwi lifestyle. Study the dramatic landscapes and visit places only the locals know about.

"take your time in New Zealand if you want to see both islands in-depth. 5-7 weeks is plenty of time for a relaxed trip with several nights in each location."
Simone, Travel specialist
We are serious about sustainable travel and always have been. Since native New Zealander Andrew Morten founded the company in 2006, we have taken sustainability seriously. It’s not just a project for us but a company philosophy. Since 2008, we have been planting trees in the Te Urewera Rainforest. And we joined forces with Cathay Pacific to carbon offset all of our clients and employees travel through projects in Asia.
At TravelEssence, we specialise in crafting custom-made holidays that take you off the beaten path and create memories to last a lifetime. We believe in connecting with the heart and soul of a place, introducing you to the locals who call it home. Engage in conversations with fascinating individuals who will share their stories, traditions, and way of life, leaving an indelible mark on your journey.
