International Flight
Smooth landing in Aotearoa
It’s the wish of every traveler to pierce through the clouds of Aotearoa free of hassles and delays. Unfortunately easier said than done for those trying to organize this all from the other side of the world.
Since Covid-19 has hit our globe, flight reservation has become a pretty complicated job with many possible pitfalls!
Although you can book the international flights yourself, we think it’s worth seeking some professional advice to avoid unpleasant surprises.
For this part of your journey we put our trust in our local flight specialists Phil and Jeremy. They share 25 years experience in flight reservations. Their efforts will result in a flawless international flight which is so essential for the smooth roll-out of your itinerary.

Accommodation
A comfy bed and a warm welcome
We only book special accommodations that deeply connect you with New Zealand and its wonderful people. A good bed and a clean bathroom is for us only the beginning!
After settling in, you raise a glass to a successful day, exchange your great experiences with travel companions or become friends with your host family!
After a good night sleep, getting a breath of fresh air on the beach or having a fresh-brewed coffee on the sunny deck of your holiday home, is the way we see a successful start of your day!
Whatever accommodation style you are looking for, we have it for you! From an eccentric stay with a local artist to a remote glass house where you can admire the starry sky of the southern hemisphere!
For an identical price, we exchange your everyday hotel or mobile home bed for a super romantic vineyard stay, remote high country farm or a holiday home right on the beach.
To find all those unique places, we have prospected every corner of New Zealand. Only the most delightful places and hosts make it on our elite list! Kiwi-owned, charming and small-scale are our absolute favourites!

The NZ Huis Roadbook
Your personal road assistant with a wealth of local knowledge
Unlike most travel agents, we do not limit our efforts to reserving only the essentials of your holiday. Your booking with us also includes a personalised roadbook to discover New Zealand in depth. Whatever your interests, you will find the perfect suggestions in your Roadbook day after day!
Our Roadbook includes:
Nature Experiences
Close encounters with nature & wildlife
Thanks to our well-considered travel routes, you won’t miss any beautiful landscape of New Zealand. Our overnight locations are carefully selected to allow you a maximum of multi-day stays.
This approach results in a relaxed itinerary that gives you plenty of time to admire the impressive nature surrounding you. No wildlife experience, walking or cycling highlight will be missed!
Our Roadbook will guide you to encounter penguins, sealions, dolphins and even the world-famous kiwi’s from close by. An unforgettable experience for every nature lover!
Iconic places like Kaikoura, The Catlins, Fiordland, Stewart Island and Golden Bay are always represented in our itineraries. It’s here that New Zealand reveals its pristine beauty to you!
Cycling
Thanks to the new national network of cycle trails, you can now easily explore New Zealand by bicycle. The countless off-road trails vary in length from a few hours to multiple days with one common characteristic: they take you to the heart of New Zealand’s nature.
Based on your preferred drop-off and pick-up location, we will book your custom bike or e-bike and arrange all shuttle transports. You only need to determine the level and length of your bike ride!
Walking & Hiking
The attractive walking options in this country are really endless… You can hike over volcanoes, conquer high mountain peaks but also take an easy stroll on a remote beach. What a luxury!
Kilometres of trails are waiting for you to be discovered! We have pre-explored many tracks and have summarized our top findings in our roadbooks. This way you won’t miss a single beautiful track!
For each National Park we’ve created short and full day walking options on the world-famous Great Walks. Where necessary, we will book you a local return transport to keep your walking experience pleasant and achievable.
Or how about a guided walk in which penguins or kiwis cross your path? Or a Maori guide taking you on a mythical journey through dense native forest? These are all Wow experiences that are characteristic of a NZ Huis walking holiday.
For those looking for a more challenging hiking experience, we have mapped out fascinating mountain routes and multi-day walks on private farms: from self-guided tramping tracks to fully catered walking packages. We cover it all!
