The North Island

New Zealand

Overview

In the North Island (or Te Ika-a-Maui to use its Maori name), scenic treasures range from the splendid harbour of Auckland and the cultural delights of Wellington to Huka Falls and the Bay of Islands.

Visits incorporating all of these beauty spots are well within the scope of a leisurely two-week itinerary and we would be delighted to put together a tailormade holiday featuring any of our recommended hotels, lodges and country estates.

Why not allow us to organise your luxury holiday to New Zealand?
