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...

Auckland? Why Auckland?
There are many 'received wisdoms' in New Zealand tourism. One of
the more annoying of these is "to see New Zealand, you need to get out
of Auckland". Many itineraries, put together by junior people around
the world with little product knowledge and very little client contact,
follow this precept and shoot people out as...

Doing Your Homework
So many times we have explained to people that we
can only work wonders if we know our client. If we know what they like,
what they don't like in terms of activities, approach, pace, control.
Therefore our first response to an enquiry is usually a lot of questions.
This is quite useful as only people who are serious about coming to us are...

Auckland
Often misunderstood, this city has grown to dwarf New Zealand's other cities. The reason, according to one eminent historian is lifestyle. I agree with him. This is not an easy city to understand for those who want to do it themselves. Our clients have had an excellent time. With the maritime playground - second to...

Just a short scenic 10-minute helicopter ride from the...
