Luxury Travel New Zealand

Immersive Journeys Through New Zealand’s Most Captivating Places

“From alpine peaks to hidden bays, every journey is designed to feel personal, not packaged.”

"But it’s not just about where you go — it’s how you experience it"

That’s where thoughtful design makes all the difference.

Designed Around You

A Journey As Unique As You Are

New Zealand is a land of striking contrasts — snow-capped peaks and rainforest coastlines, world-class cuisine and raw, untouched wilderness. But what makes your journey extraordinary isn’t just where you go — it’s how you experience it.

As a travel designer with over 30 years of experience, I bring a local’s insight and a curator’s eye to every itinerary. I don’t just book trips; I craft seamless, deeply personal journeys that reflect your pace, passions, and preferences.

Whether you're planning a once-in-a-lifetime honeymoon, a romantic escape, or an immersive adventure through our stunning country, I
’ll ensure your trip feels effortless, intimate, and unforgettable.

From private vineyard tastings and heli-accessed beaches to stays in New Zealand’s most exclusive luxury lodges — I know how to uncover the best of this country… and design it just for you.

Uncover New Zealand's Natural Wonders

Discover a land of contrasts — where glacier-fed lakes meet luxury lodges, and ancient forests hide world-class vineyards.

 

From private helicopter picnics to stargazing in remote sanctuaries, I design bespoke New Zealand journeys that go far beyond the expected. Whether you're planning your honeymoon, a milestone escape, or an adventure laced with indulgence, I’ll curate every detail to reflect your style, pace, and vision.

Signature Stays

Selected stays that blend luxury with local charm.

From design-led wilderness lodges to vineyard villas and coastal hideaways, these are stays that become part of the story.

 

Think glass-wrapped suites in alpine valleys, treehouses overlooking Kaikōura’s coast, and remote villas only accessible by boat or helicopter.

Whether it’s a PurePod under the stars or a historic hotel with heritage flair, every stay is handpicked to reflect New Zealand’s distinct character — wild, refined, and deeply memorable.

New Zealand’s Most Breathtaking Landscapes

New Zealand Mountains & Lakes By Tobias Keller

The landscapes that stop you in your tracks.

New Zealand’s scenery is what people come for, and what they talk about long after they’ve left. Towering fjords. Snow-dusted peaks. Geothermal valleys bubbling with life. Wide, empty beaches where the only footprints are yours.

It’s a country of striking contrasts, where you can hike through ancient rainforest in the morning and watch the sun set over a volcanic plateau that same evening.

 

From the stillness of Fiordland to the golden coves of Abel Tasman, from the deep greens of the Marlborough Sounds to the bold blues of glacial lakes! Every region feels like a world of its own.

This is a place that makes you look twice, breathe deeper, and slow down - because our scenery demands it.

Unique New Zealand Experiences Worth Planning Around

Extraordinary Moments

Picture this!... You are gliding across the still waters of Milford Sound just after sunrise. There’s no one else around, only the sound of your paddle, the shadow of cliffs rising from the water, and the occasional splash from a curious seal nearby.

These are the kinds of experiences that shape your journey - personal, unhurried, and deeply connected to place. Whether it’s kayaking beneath waterfalls, hiking into the quiet of native forest, or flying by helicopter to a remote alpine lake for a private picnic, every moment is designed around how you want to feel.

This isn’t about ticking off a list.  It is about slowing down, tuning in, and creating space for something unforgettable.

Your Interests Elevated

Tailored experiences shaped around what you love.

Every journey I design begins with what matters most to you, whether that’s carving out time for a round of golf at one of New Zealand’s most iconic courses, or weaving in a day on one of our legendary Great Walks.

You might spend a morning exploring boutique design stores in a creative hub, soak in alpine hot pools after a scenic hike, or set out on a private charter through the Marlborough Sounds.

 

From spa treatments to stillness, from shopping to scenic adventures — we’ll shape a journey that reflects your pace and passions, with all the details taken care of.

Authentic New Zealand Culture & Meaningful Encounters

Stories that bring the landscape to life.

New Zealand’s beauty runs deeper than the scenery.

 

It’s in the stories shared, the traditions honoured, and the sense of place that weaves through everyday life.

 

For those who want to connect more meaningfully, I’ll guide you toward experiences that offer a deeper understanding, whether that’s walking with a Māori guide who shares the cultural significance of the land, exploring places shaped by creativity and heritage, or simply learning the stories behind the places you visit.

It’s these moments of connection, quiet, thoughtful, and often unexpected that can shift a great trip into something truly memorable.

Best Food & Wine Experiences in New Zealand

Flavours that reflect the land

In New Zealand, food and wine are deeply connected our place.

 

You’ll taste it in the crisp Sauvignon Blancs of Marlborough, the earthy Pinots of Central Otago, and the menus built around local produce, seasonality, and story.

This isn’t about fine dining, it is about long lunches in the vines, seafood caught just offshore, and discovering the passion behind every bottle and plate.

 

Whether it’s a destination restaurant or a quiet spot only the locals know, I’ll guide you to the kind of meals that feel unhurried, generous, and unforgettable.
