North Island Luxury Holidays

All who travel to New Zealand come back utterly enchanted.

It seems that all who travel to New Zealand come back utterly enchanted. Small wonder, when you consider the sheer diversity of scenic, sporting and cultural attractions. We specialise in New Zealand luxury holidays and can offer advice and assistance to tailor-make your perfect itinerary. Set in the South Pacific, New Zealand's two magnificent islands offer snow-capped mountains, deep fiords, impenetrable rainforest, glaciers and bubbling geo-thermal pools…simply nowhere else compares. It is a country that is clean, safe and courteous, where many things seem reassuringly familiar - an unparalleled multi-centre touring destination whose fabulous lodge hideaways and luxury hotels lead the world in terms of lavishness and location. A luxury holiday to New Zealand offers a thrilling adventure and outstanding scenery as well as the finest gourmet dining and wine tasting opportunities. Ideal for honeymoons and family holidays alike, New Zealand is second to none as a self drive destination. On the North Island there is Auckland, 'City of Sails', cultured and calm, abounding with fine restaurants and shops, whilst life in Wellington centres around the numerous galleries and museums, the opera and ballet. This is the island, too, of tranquil Lake Taupo and of Rotorua, a spectacular wonderland of geysers and steaming mud pools. For superb beach-based activities head up to the Bay of Islands, a sub-tropical maritime park with an abundance of marine life. Maori culture is everywhere in New Zealand, where ancient traditions and artforms have become precious to the modern Maori.

CLIMATE New Zealand's seasons are the opposite to the UK but not as extreme - the warmest months are December to April. The North Island is sub-tropical whilst the South Island is temperate.
