ABOUT US

Our story & how we can help you

We make the difference

Our walk of life

In 2002, after a career as professional photographers in Belgium, my wife and I decided to follow a new path in life. Our passion for nature photography and travel led us to beautiful New Zealand.

The friendliness of the locals and the impressive nature immediately left a deep impression on us. It was love at first sight and the beginning of a long and passionate relationship with this country!

Together with our hunger for small-scale tourism, this quickly led to the establishment of our own travel organization Nieuw-Zeeland Huis in which we were able to unite our two greatest loves.

New Zealand, our home and passion!

Expert tips at no cost

As New Zealand enthusiasts, we spare no effort to get to know this country better and to discover the most hidden natural gems. Both of us are in our fifties, true nature lovers and enthusiastic hikers and cyclists.

The base for our explorations is our real New Zealand house & office that we built 20 years ago in Golden Bay at the top of the South Island. This is still the beating heart of our travel company, but also the place where we welcome and can accommodate you with great hospitality during your visit to the stunning Abel Tasman National Park.

Small, flexible and reliable

Sonja and I are responsible for the full realization of your New Zealand holiday. This results in a very personal and profound New Zealand experience that no other travel agent can offer you.

We invest all our time and resources in the prospection, discussion and design of your trip. This intimacy approach rewards you with maximum freedom and an in-depth travel experience.

By working locally, we are able to assist you with any advice or help you might need 24/7. We will never let you down, wherever you are or whatever happens to you!

To run our travel agency in the most substainable way, we actively support nature protection projects in New Zealand, especially in Golden Bay and the Abel Tasman National Park.

Your Holiday

We create your very own Dream Trip!

Personal and professional

We will gather together the greatest inspirations for your trip from the various personal conversations we have with you prior to our design work. During these online meetings we get to know you better while you indicate to us the main accents of your holiday, your personal wishes and of course your foreseen budget.

Add this to our 20 years of local knowledge and you can feel immediately that something extraordinary is in the making: your very own Dream Trip in New Zealand!

Exclusive services

Our real added value lies in the extensive range of services that we add on top of our normal reservation work. As an absolute highlight is your personalized road book that will be you personal assistant and guide with a long list of hidden gems – from a secret photo location for yellow-eyed penguins to a romantic address for dinner.

Worry-free and perfectly organised to the smallest detail. This will allow you to enjoy every second of your holiday and discover that magical ‘Pure New Zealand’ feeling almost no other visitor will experience.

Satisfaction guaranteed

Over the years, hundreds of clients have become friends for life. Your satisfaction is for us the greatest driving force behind the success of our travel organization. Without your enthusiasm and many referrals our NZ Huis would never be so successful!  A formula in which our hard workers behind the scenes surely deserve a place of honor: our web designers Michel, Steve & Mary-Jane from iBeauty & Slightly Different and our translator Adrian. Your boundless love for our travel organization and the passion with which you support us professionally always fuels our own motivation to do that little bit better!
