Private Houses in New Zealand
Many people offer 5-star "private houses" here in New Zealand - but very rarely are they delivering what they are promising.
To make a private residence 5-star rather than 4-star requires service. Housekeeping, chef, concierge and transportation. To offer this much at a consistent luxury level requires management of a...

New Year's Update
Having just arrived back in the office after a number of tours over the Christmas/New Year period, I thought it might be useful to give a general update to the travel community.
Firstly - the doom and gloom of the financial crisis has largely passed us by. New Zealanders have borrowed less than many others and are consequently hurting...

Accommodation - More Than Meets the Eye
Some people think booking accommodation is easy. You just get a good rate and book it! I suppose in the same way, cooking is easy. Everyone can cook. And everyone can drive, too.

A Beach is a Beach - right?
Well, not quite. Like many things, they seem similar on the surface but once one gets below the surface they're all different. Consider these different beaches we have used (and yes, most of them were deserted):
- a beach in the far north where the top quad bike ride in the country takes people up 300ft sand dunes. Remote and wild.
- a...

Elegant Chauffeuring!
What a treat to hear from you. Mark and I took forever to become accustomed to not depending on you to organize our days. We finally recovered from our jet lag, but we both still feel so attached to you and to NZ and so relatively unattached to the subsequent people and places we travelled. I think that you are setting an...
