The Christchurch Botanic Gardens have been growing beside the Avon for more than 150 years, a green heart to the Garden City. Our private days weave the gardens together with the Arts Centre, Governors Bay and the hill suburbs, unhurried and tailored to you. 🌿

Behind the scenes, winter is when our fleet gets its deep care, ready for the season ahead. Around twenty vehicles, mostly Mercedes-Benz, including luxury Sprinters and two Tesla EVs, kept to a standard our guests notice the moment they step aboard. 🌿

Premium transport is part of the promise, not an upgrade. Our fleet is largely Mercedes-Benz, from luxury SUVs to the newest Sprinters, kept immaculate and driven by guides who know every road. Comfort matters most on the longest, most beautiful days. 🌿

Hanmer Springs is an alpine village built around thermal pools, ninety minutes north of Christchurch through the Canterbury high country. Warm mineral water, mountain air and quiet forest walks make it an easy, restorative day, or a gentle stop on a longer journey. 🌿

Christchurch wears its story openly, from street art and a transitional cathedral to gardens along the Avon. A private city day moves at your pace, shaped around what you want to see, with a guide who lived through the rebuild. Half a day, or a gentle full one. 🌿

The Mackenzie Country sits under one of the largest International Dark Sky Reserves on Earth. On clear nights the Milky Way arcs from horizon to horizon over Aoraki and Lake Tekapo, a sight most travellers have never seen from home. Worth staying up for. πŸ”οΈ

Across the Southern Alps by rail, home by private vehicle. Our Arthur's Pass day pairs the TranzAlpine train with a guided drive through braided rivers and beech forest, with a waterfall walk and a country lunch along the way. The kind of day guests remember their guide by name. πŸ”οΈ

Castle Hill, or Kura Tawhiti, is a scatter of giant limestone boulders in the high country between Christchurch and Arthur's Pass. Sacred to Ngai Tahu and loved by walkers and climbers, it is a favourite stop on our alpine day, paired with the TranzAlpine train. 🌿

The Waipara Valley sits less than an hour north of Christchurch and quietly makes some of New Zealand's best Pinot Noir and Riesling. Our wine days are unhurried: a handful of boutique cellars, a long lunch, and a guide who knows the winemakers by name. 🍷
