12 Day Great Rail Adventure
Trip went very smoothly, everything that was booked happened with no issues. Had a fantastic time, would recommend this company. Some towns quite small and limited things to do in downtime but scenery always amazing and gave us some chill-out time. Loved it overall

Read moreThe itinerary provided was amazing, we added a few additional activities along the way however, the accommodation selection was about a 60% satisfaction rate. Regent of Rotorua I would perhaps not recommend as the standard they pride themselves on was not delivered, particularly with the state of the rooms we were allocated. All other accommodation options were fine, given our allocated budget, which allowed us to maximise on our activities. I would however, for future bookings, choose a more modern option if possible.

14 Day South Island at Leisure
New Zealand holidays made the process of organising a holiday easy. They tailored out holiday to suit what we wanted to experience and their recommendations were fabulous. We will definitely revisit this company when we are ready to do our North Island adventure!

5 Day Auckland Harbour & Hobbiton
New Zealand holidays booked us an amazing trip. They planned it all for us. The accommodation they chose was amazing in both Auckland and Rotorua, so were all the activities. If we did have any problems or questions, communication was amazing.

14 Day South Island at Leisure
We need more time, as we tried everything we could. Excellent accommodation locations were booked by the travel group. Activities need to be researched in advance, and helicopter flights should be booked early, as we did, as they get booked out quickly. There is lots to do and see. Thank you.

7 Day New Zealand Rail Experience
Organised everything without any problem. Let car transfer know and use when late for pickups. Hotels were just grand, comfortable, spacious. Thanks for a great holiday.

Really beautiful. Everything went smoothly. The accommodation was great and the car, a Ford Everest, was fantastic. It was a great holiday and very well organised.

7 Day New Zealand Rail Experience
Read moreStaff at New Zealand Holidays were so helpful, professional, and provided exceptional customer service. They really know their product. Sally was simply the best consultant.
There is no longer a free Penguin Express bus service to the International Antarctic Centre in Christchurch. It ceased operation several months ago. You should advise travellers to take any public bus going to the airport, which costs $4 per person one way.
All the KiwiRail trips departed late and arrived late at their destinations, so don’t plan on connecting to another service, bus, or flight immediately afterwards.
