How long do we need in New Zealand?
You could spend months travelling the ever-changing landscape of New Zealand and not see the same place twice. So what you really need to ask yourself is: "How long do we have?".
A great holiday comes with enough time to reset and get into a new rhythm. Travelling the TravelEssence way means not rushing from highlight to highlight - instead, we promote travelling at a relaxed pace so that you can embrace the country properly and take it all in.
So, regardless of how long you have, our travel specialists will create a bespoke travel itinerary that is unique and perfectly tailored just for you two.
Where can we stay?
At TravelEssence, we focus on small-scale accommodation and personally know the local hosts you will be staying with, who are renowned for their Kiwi hospitality.
Picture a cosy log cabin nestled deep into the forests of one of New Zealand’s many national parks, where you unwind with your loved one in a hot tub under the Milky Way.
Or relive your childhood as you make your way up the steps to an adventurous stay in the treetops. With TravelEssence, you will stay in unique accommodations that are an experience in themselves - just tell us the comfort level you are looking for, and we will do the rest!
What can we see and do?
With New Zealand's diversity, you can see and do just about anything your heart desires. The possibilities are nearly limitless.
Immerse yourself in the Māori culture with Indigenous guides. Spot the rare yellow-eyed penguin on a hike to the Caitlin Coast of South Island. Cycle along an old railway line, through tunnels and over bridges between Dunedin and Central Otago. Sail the waters as you spot whales, dolphins, and albatrosses up close.
Do all of this the TravelEssence way - slow-paced and with a local guide who will take you places beyond the usual tourist hotspots.
