We have great contacts with lots of domestic travel suppliers, and can put together fantastic package deals for you with flights, accommodation, car hire, tours & activities.
We are your 'one stop shop', and can offer you some great deals on discovering our own beautiful New Zealand, with the specialist suppliers that we contract.

For domestic NZ travel, there can be a tendency for some people to just ‘jump online’ and think that’s its ok to book it themselves as its ‘just’ domestic, but remember that by doing it this way - the commission goes directly offshore with overseas owned online booking tools.

When you book through a local Travel Agent or Broker, you are keeping the commission here in your community. The price is usually the same plus you will get the extra bonus of a friendly & professional personal service.

The most popular options are the quick-and-easy triple fold, or folding the outer edges towards the centre before folding in thirds, to create a plusher, more spa-like look. But what do you do? And who knew folding towels could be so controversial?
