“ Everything in Paris was perfect! The hotel was convenient, comfortable and very accommodating. Every tour guide was warm, gracious and provided just the right amount of knowledge and activities for the girls. Last night’s dinner on the Seine was a magical way to conclude our time in the city. Thanks for your help planning this first leg of our journey!”

We are dedicated to every trip fulfilling our clients’ travel dreams and even exceeding them! What a pleasure it is to see this lovely family enjoying Paris and reporting in while en route to their villa in St. Tropez! Let the “joie de vivre” 🇫🇷 👯 💕 continue!

Thank you .paris and for your partnership!

Leaving the Lindis, we spent a day traveling through the Otago Valley and into Queenstown, then onward along scenic Lake Whakatipu to the peaceful and serene Blanket Bay.

This historic, family owned lodge lies on the edge of one of the greatest alpine wilderness regions in the Southern Hemisphere. Built in the grand style of the finest alpine Lodges and finished with native New Zealand timber and stone. You’ll find cosy corners by stone fireplaces, amazing views and fine dining at the award winning restaurant.

Experience stunning Milford Sound and the snow-capped Mt Earnslaw Glacier.

Walk along the quiet trout-filled rivers of The Greenstone Valley or visit dense pre-historic rainforests of World Heritage Fiordland National Park.

We had a fabulous stay and enjoyed touring the surrounding wilderness on a thrilling full day helicopter tour (coming soon to stories and featuring a very unique way of pulling in a 🦞!)

I just loved this remote setting and the views of the Ahuriri Valley and snow-capped mountains. The night sky was incredible, enjoyed from the hot spa, with my nightly jet-lag helper: espresso martini!

The Lindis features two spacious master suites, three luxurious lodge suites and three glass pods. All of the accommodation offerings have been designed for the utmost comfort and luxury.

My master suite had sweeping floor to ceiling windows blurring the barriers between the inside and outside worlds.

The Lindis will be a top choice for our New Zealand itineraries, if clients are planning ahead — not surprising to learn that it stays quite booked.

Another gorgeous morning in New Zealand! The last few days on the South Island have been truly epic — so much to share — coming soon! (It’s time to pack again as we head up North for the Bay of Islands) ☀️

Feeling so grateful for the amazing company of fellow advisors and New Zealand specialists on this journey — travel is truly all about the people!

We had the most fun night at the incredible and iconic Otahuna Lodge near Christchurch, sharing stories and laughter with owners Miles and Hall, and the wonderful Chef Jimmie, who’s been with the lodge since it opened nearly 25 years ago.

It was wonderful to connect again with Miles who is originally from Richmond — small world!

Set in pastoral surroundings against the fluted cone of an ancient volcano, Otahuna Lodge is a beguiling Victorian mansion that offers its guests a unique sense of wonder and discovery. New Zealand’s largest private historic residence has been revitalised with luxury accommodation, glorious gardens and sophisticated cuisine.

Next stop: Wharekauhau (“far-we-ko-hi”), a seaside working sheep and cattle farm on the south coast of the North Island, near Wellington. Arrival by helicopter, when weather permits, provides views of this remote coast, which faces across the Southern Ocean to Antarctica.

Explore the spectacular, experience the dramatic, and enjoy exotic New Zealand first hand. Wharekauhau is one of New Zealand’s luxury hideaways, offering guests an unforgetable farm stay experience set in the spectacular foothills of the Remutaka Mountain Range and the clifftops of dramatic Palliser Bay.
