“Michelle, we wouldn’t have had half the experience we did without your guidance and recommendations so we can’t thank you enough.”

Thank you for helping us arrange the most amazing trip! You are incredibly lucky to call New Zealand home and we already look forward to our next visit.
The Hotel Britomart was the perfect spot to welcome us to Auckland. The only part we didn’t enjoy, because it reminded us of Seattle, was driving a car in downtown Auckland. Waiheke Island was a great way to kickoff our adventure and we fell in love with Parnell on our walk home from the War Memorial Museum.

Treetops Lodge in Rotorua and The Lindis in Ahuriri Valley were absolutely magical and the service/experience at both were next level amazing. The actual town of Rotorua was a little dated and reminded us of the movie set from “Back to the Future” but the surrounding geothermal landscape more than made up for that. Christ Church was a very pleasant surprise because we hadn’t heard great things about the city but the rebuild seems to be a huge success. The Fiordland Lodge was also a true gem and just reminded us that long drives are often worth every second (we even brought home a possum pelt from Te Anau for our ski cabin in central Washington).

Michelle, we wouldn’t have had half the experience we did without your guidance and recommendations so we can’t thank you enough. Whenever New Zealand comes up in future conversations with friends or strangers we will certainly point them in your direction.

“I guess I shouldn’t try to pick favorites - all wonderful!”

Once again thank you so much for everything! I especially appreciated all the bookings as it is so often my job and so time consuming!!

You could not have ordered better weather the whole time! Having just the rain/wind at Mt. Cook means we were just plain lucky I think. Besides our time with Mike and Sally, my favorite evening was Lake Tekapo. The stars were amazing and our B&B was special! I was proud I managed the hike above Queenstown -Ben Lomond, saddle (that was high enough) and wow! Milford Sound! ... hmmmm TranzAlpine special and we did hook up with friends in Christchurch. I guess I shouldn’t try to pick favorites - all wonderful!

Take care,

“Simply the Best!”

New Zealand is beautiful, and there wasn't a single day that we didn't enjoy the experiences. The tour we took was terrific. It definitely exceeded our expectations for quality, service, etc.
