Itinerary

 

We can recommend an itinerary, or you can make your own. With motels all over the North and South Island of New Zealand you purchase vouchers for the number of nights you want, not for the specific locations.

 

 

Info

New Zealand is a year-round destination and there is always something to see and enjoy whatever time you decide to travel. High season runs from December to February (summer), prices will be at a premium at these times and availability limited so it is advisable to book in advance. March to April and September to November can be a great time to travel as the weather is fine and the crowds fewer. Low season is May to August (winter) for most of New Zealand, this is however the best time for skiing and so ski towns such as Queenstown will be at their busiest.

During peak times in New Zealand we do not recommend that you travel on open dated vouchers as availability is limited at these times. We can help you plan an itinerary and organise your motels in advance to ensure you have a stress free trip!

What's included: 

  • Vouchers for 7 nights Blue standard accom, room only
  • Interislander ferry Wellington to Picton (foot passengers)
  • 8 days car hire – a compact 4 door vehicle to pick up from Auckland Airport, drop off Christchurch Airport
  • All Inclusive car hire insurance
  • Car hire may need to be dropped at Wellington in the North and collected at Picton in the South depending on the vehicle hire company, in which case you will cross as foot passengers)

 

Not included:
